Yes, Playfab is capable of doing these.

>> Challenges with start/stop time and specific game data

Depending on whether you need to be freely modified by the user, you can use UserData or UserReadOnlyData to store time and Game Data(We provide very detailed tutorial on Player Data:https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/gaming/playfab/features/data/playerdata/quickstart).

>> First half of challenge: Users post a TowerDefense (aka some small data)

UserData can suit this scenario, setup Permission property as Public when updates. Then, it can be accessed by other Player, and only needs to specify the PlayfabID of the requested Player in the api request(GetUserData).

>> Second half : Randomly play again others TowerDefense and post defeat/success for that player

MatchMaking in PlayFab Multiplayer is currently in Public Preview and provides a great way to help your users find each other. After the game is over, you can update results using Cloudscript.

>> Leaderboard appear at end where score is calculated from your TowerDefense defeat/success

PlayFab provides a full-featured Leaderboard for various scenarios. We have step-by-step Quickstart on our Documentation website: Tournaments & Leaderboards

Additional: It sounds like you're talking about global challenge definitions on the first item, yes? If so, then yes, you could define those values in Title Data so that all players are using the same information.

Your are right, for challenges I think to use Title Data.

For matchmaking, now I check if I leaderboard can do the job (I need a simple async random matchmaking)

Finally I may go for Cloudscript to store success/failed of each user and to update new statistics leaderboard score
