Obviously a lot of the tactics on here are designed to get the most out of set generated players in a plug and play style, but my question is would that still be the case when you've got players with different abilities etc? For example, if someone is rated as a 4 star WB but only a 2 star IWB would you still get better results playing them as an IWB? Is it case by case? Do some positions perform better and some are fine to interchange?

The star rating you're talking about can be safely ignored. You should care only about 2 things:

I'd say all attributes matter but some of them has much higher weight than other.
Acceleration, Pace, Agility, Dribbling and Vision are extremely important in FM21 so you should always look for these attributes almost for any position, probably, only central defenders don't need a high Dribbling and Vision.

Assistant opinion on player's ability can be safely ignored, it has no effect in performance. They give low stars because, for FM development team, IWB should have opposite foot.
For a wingback, the preferred foot is important for shooting (which IWB-Su rarely do), crossing (they don't do either) and what direction they will pass the ball more often. Since most tactics try to balance the flow between flanks and center, it doesn't matter much.

Ah, thank you. Would this still be the case if someone is better suited as an AP in the middle but the tactic has them set as a CM?

I would rather follow the tactic role than what the assistant manager thinks or the favorite role of the player. Those things are completely worthless, because they consider some attributes that have very little impact in the game, as you can see in the table of important attributes.

Forget stars. Don't look it again. Seriously. Only attributes matters in the game and there is one which make a difference.
