Keeping the GEML and GWML separate is a good reason to limit the scope to OOC.

If anything, I'd say that has a slightly stronger case, unless another destination could be found for the Paddington (future Old Oak Common?) terminators.
Didcot is quite far out though, it’s in Oxfordshire, I doubt TfL would run services out that far.
However if the EL weren’t a TfL service and was part of a wider CrossRail network of rail services (RER style) it would be a different story.

Agreed.

The emphasis is very much on the "slightly", compared to Thameslink services to Corby.Didcot is quite far out though, it’s in Oxfordshire, I doubt TfL would run services out that far.

I thought the GEML part of Crossrail services was mostly self-contained, with the GWML generally causing most of the delays as it is.
It is. The only major intrusion is ECS moves on and off Ilford Depot.I thought the GEML part of Crossrail services was mostly self-contained

And c2c + occasional freights onto the Electric Lines at Forest Gate Junction.
Operationally Crossrail has the electric lines to itself, but if something affects the signalling then it may impact all 4 - and during disruption Crossrail may use the mains, or GA may use the electrics. The knock ons from that are what you want to keep clear of the GWML.
