STRQ did not beat Salem.

Your theory has several holes in it and is based on mishearing what Qrow said.

1. Qrow said "The only way we'd beat her is by working together."

We'd. As in "we WOULD", which means he was saying "The only way we would beat her is if we work together."

2. The timeline doesn't fit right. By the time Summer disappeared, Raven had already left and dropped all contact with Taiyang. Plus, Yang said that Taiyang was a teacher and Summer was taking missions around Vale, which means that STRQ had broken up.

Yang said that Summer went on a mission and never made it back.

As in, Summer went on a mission alone.
