Man lernt mehr aus dem, was schiefgeht, als aus dem, was klappt.
Is it possible to rephrase this using daraus or woraus?
(a) Man lernt mehr daraus, was schiefgeht, als daraus, was klappt.
(b) Man lernt mehr woraus, was schiefgeht, als woraus, was klappt.
The problem is that "was" refers to "dem".
It would be no problem to use "daraus" if you replace "was":
Man lernt mehr draus, wenn etwas schiefgeht, als daraus, wenn etwas klappt.
To use "woraus" seems impossible to me. According to Duden, "woraus" is used when questioning what something is made of:
"Woraus ist das gemacht? Seide"
Or if refering to something:
Es ist nichts im Hause, woraus ich einen Teig machen könnte.
The sentence contains two determinative pronouns ( a combination of demonstrative and relative pronoun):
1 das, was schiefgeht
2 das, was klappt.
And you have to maintain these pronouns even if you change the case.
Your use of daraus+was is not idiomatic and woraus+was is wrong.
