Great post and comments.
I haven't read S & H. What little I know of that I picked up from you. So, I really have no scholarly right to criticize their theories.
Nevertheless,
RE crises, I don't see the American Rebellion, The Civil War, or WWII as comparable to each other, really, for very many different reasons, regardless of domestic generational considerations.
Re leaders, I do not see Washington, Lincoln, or FDR as similar to each other, in any respect, except that a large military conflict happened on their watch. I do not see their emergence as the result of generational forces. What, for example, about Wilson? Or Teddy? George Wallace? Nixon?
