Unless I misunderstand you, this is my Eurocents-worth:

Apply 1x Single Drift and adjust outbound time by the calculated tailwind component x Y, where Y is the nominal time of the procedure. As the SD is a function of the aircraft's TAS your info was incomplete to allow analysis.

The time adjustment should prevent you from being blown significantly through the inbound axis. To avoid excessive track distortions do not use a Drift correction of >30 degr.

When someone has been cleared outbound for the procedure (either with or without descent) you are the only aircraft in the procedure until you cross the beacon inbound. This in order to provide aforementioned minimum procedural separation.
