They defect anyway. Making peace does make your people happier, so perhaps it lowers the chance of them defecting. Also, if the city you're fighting with is too far away, corruption prevents you from building anything very quickly, so it's impossible to build the happiness buildings fast...

I'm a democracy with maybe a 100 cities. The corruption is so bad in my far away places they cannot have a WLTKD much less benefit from one. Some of my medium cities benefit, and my science time goes down in WLTK but it takes so much resource to make happiness the trade off seems equal...
