Anyway, I think we’re at a point where Montagliani (CONCACAF), should be engaging Infantino (FIFA), about 4 qualified spots, at the expense of AFC’s 5 to 4.

Tough call.
Using current world rankings, CONCACAF has 4 teams in the top 50, and another 7 in the next 50.
AFC has 5 in the top 50 and another 11 in the next 50. So they are quite a bit deeper.
Yes, USA (12) and MEX (14) both rank higher than IRA (21), but AFC has 4 teams ranked higher than CDA (40): IRA, JPN (26), KOR (33) and AUS (35)
So 3.5 for CONCACAF and 4.5 for AFC looks to be exactly right, IMO.
