Nah man I just like to poke my head in layout threads and give or read critique advice, layout optimization is my favorite part of the game. Look at my post history.

We should stop derailing this thread. What do you think of Gambit's idea to leave a break in your decoy walls to funnel incoming troops as they enter mortar range? They wouldn't make wallbreakers go as far around but they already weren't great at diverting WBs.
Is this any better with the walls?

No, they wouldn't. I think a wall has to be at least 16 spaces wide for a wallbreaker placed at the very middle to consider the buildings behind it protected and thus target the wall? In that case wallbreakers placed 1 or more spaces left or right of the center of the length of the wall would just go around it. Forcing wallbreakers to go around walls can be useful, so that's not necessarily a bad thing.
I'm not sure if a wallbreaker placed between the barracks and the builder on the lower left side of your base would target your elixir storage or a cannon/archer tower. If the latter, then those funneling walls are doing an excellent job keeping wallbreakers away from your storages.
EDIT
Nah, that new wall formation means that wallbreakers targeting your elixir storage have even less of a detour to make to get there. You should leave them how they were OR leave them how they were except with a hole in the middle, so they act as a funnel for infantry instead of wallbreakers.
Ok thanks I'll keep it in mind
Constantly tweaking and upgrading, this is what I've got so far

I can get all your gold and 2/3 elixier with just 4 wallbreaker and a pure barbarian/ archer army... . As this is a farming setup, I'd reconsider your layout/ positioning of your defense buildings.
You could switch your wizard towers with the elixier storages left and right and your top wizard tower with the north gold storage. Further you put the wall not behind left/ right gold storage but between storage/ air unit or between air unit and mine. (I'd prefer between storage and air def because of wallbreaker)
Here you go
