Temptresses are not the backbone of the army. If you spend too much on them too early, you might lose another key unit, like Pit Lords, for example. Temptresses are an expensive unit, and building them in the early second week can be extremely unprofitable. Moreover, if the mages happen to go first (and if they are divided into 4 units, this is a very real possibility), the result will be disastrous.

My tactic with Temptresses and mages works great. And not just with mages. I hire them in the early second week without any problems. And I don't necessarily need to level up the hero to level 10.

P.S. Taking this opportunity, I want to thank Valery for posting the replay - the idea of breaking through with Ballista + Sign is demonstrated quite clearly in it - and I suggest making a similar replay of Lordesat. It would be very interesting to see how 6 Temptresses (Jezebeth always comes to the tavern ;) ) kill 30 Archmages in the early second week.
