For what it's worth, I'm highly skeptical SeaStreak would function as a very competent anti-missile CIWS. A conventional blast-frag warhead enjoys a radius of damage relatively independent of the profile of the target. Starstreak, however, depends on actually making physical contact with a target with at least one of the darts. This is maybe a good plan when your target is something large like a manned aircraft, but something like Exocet might literally have a one or two square foot cross-section. Starstreak would be ~100x less likely to hit that than a manned aircraft.

I'd fit RAM instead.

AGS-L would be an interesting compromise on the gun side of things, although this would leave the ship woefully under-equipped to deal with the small boat threat and more boring dhow-bashing.

There's scope for the Seastreak launchers to deploy Martlet as well as Starstreak itself which would be useful in the light anti-surface role but as an-anti missile system I'm with erik_t. (That's why I have the duality of a gun based system as well on my ships)

As a compromise I would suggest looking into AGS-L but with the addition of some inexpensive (relatively speaking) SSMs like Griffin-ER or the like for close in 'dhow-bashing' as erik_t calls it.
