TWCS is probably still worth trying. If you mean updating old rows in TWCS "out of order updates" will only really mean you'll hit more SSTables on read. This might add a bit of complexity in your client if your bucketing partitions (not strictly necessary), but that's about it. As long as you're not specifying "USING TIMESTAMP" you still get the main benefit of efficient dropping of SSTables - C* only cares about the *write timestamp* of the data in regards to TTL's, not timestamps stored in your partition/clustering key. Also keep in mind that you can specify the window size in TWCS, so if you can increase it enough to cover the "out of order" updates then that will also solve the problem w.r.t old buckets.
In regards to LCS, the only way to really know if it'll be too much compaction overhead is to test it, but for the most part you should consider your read/write ratio, rather than the total number of reads/writes (unless it's so small that it's irrelevant, which it may well be).
