Has there been any ship in Star Trek that uses that type of Warp Drive design?
Mapping the Beta Quadrant, another installment:

No...but it would make sense---a spire ahead of the main body of the craft...one behind.
Like a space train? (Or star train?)
Dr. Who did it too.

Edit: Given the similar designs, your comic image might be from a Who comic? They played around with the Doctor having multiple invites to the train... I wouldn't be surprised if the comics didn't do a story where River or another Not!TheDoctor arrives instead...
I'm pretty sure it's a shot from Leiji Matsumoto's Galaxy Express 999.
Here's another angle of the same vehicle:

It's also entirely possible the Who CGI team cribbed from the anime...
The Warp Wheel was inspired by the original TOS effect which was a quickly spinning lens flare. Only real issue is Spock can't ID it in TOS.
If I was looking at a spinning lens flare, I'd have a hard time figuring out what type of vessel that was too!
But I'm sure you'd have a pseudo-military acronym just ready to go anyway.
Do you have a YT clip of the original VFX from TOS?
Interesting. I linked to Trekkiechannel's video because you asked specifically for a YT clip of the original VFX from TOS and that is exactly what his video delivers plus a side-by-side comparison. There is no battle analysis in Trekkiechannel's video.
I didn't realize the Spinning Lens Flare ship was the same one from the "Journey to Babel".
It's when you posted the YT clip that I got that "Deja-Vu" feeling.
Then I looked it up, and low & behold, the analysis already existed.
I'm sure a more modern battle can be done between a FTL vs FTL battle & FTL vs STL battle.
One that makes more sense and makes for a more visual spectacle.
Just watched ResurrectedStarships' YT video and it doesn't have any of the original VFX. He has some interesting ideas but they don't really match up to what's in the episodes.
I'm still super busy with shows, but I wanted to note that in 2x09, the anomaly affected people's behaviour and somehow the lights (unless the lights were an artifact of what everyone was perceiving), but not the physical sets.
This means that the K'tinga bridge has the earliest example of a powered command chair in Klingon history, sliding back and forth, even if it doesn't have a visible periscope. The whole set seems to be set up against the back wall of their virtual studio, with a graphic inspired by the 80s/90s Bird of Prey bridge aft corridor projected against it.
