So is there really beats to which it is 'incorrect' to triple in west coast ?
No, to the first, yes to the second.

In WCS your triple must be on 3 & 4, or 1 & 2, (or 5 & 6 or 7 & 8 if you're counting up to 8 across 2 bars)

In a ballroom cha cha your triple step is 4 & 1. (or 4 & 5 and 8 & 1 if you count to 8 across two bars)

There's no way in Lindy or WCS (as far as I know) to switch to dancing on the back-beat like you do in a Cha Cha. You can do it in Ceroc and it's downright weird.
