I agree with the assesment that CTS+ by itself doesn't solve the overtake problem or create insight in (possible) consistency problems. However when you manager the operational and project change management using Solution Manager and you try to modify objects already being modified by others, the cross-system object lock warns you of that. The ChaRM application provides you with the reporting tools to get insight into why which objects are part of which multiple changes and the Retrofit functionality ensures the consistency of any branched systems. This has been available for ABAP (and mature enough for wide spread use) since Solution Manager SP12 (retrofit since SP15 I think); what CTS+ adds is the inclusion of java objects, so sequences are consistent on both platforms. SSM Change Management is comparable to the Transport Express application and takes it a step further and wider, as it's part of and seemlessly integrates with the other functionalities of the SAP Solution Manager suite.
