Is it worth it to save the extra money to use this from Heathrow
Terminals 123 [London Underground] to Upminster saving £1.10?

Alternative oyster single fares:
Route 1: Avoiding Zone 1 via any of Kensington Olympia, Shepherds Bush
or West Brompton

Route 2: Avoiding Zone 1 via Gospel Oak

Route 3: Avoiding Zone 1 via Stratford (London Overground)

No, I don't think so. Unless you really want an excuse to go via a
more labyrinthine route!

(Also, note that not all trains to Tilbury stop at Upminster during
peak periods.)

I got the schedules they leave every half hour during the 11 am to 1
pm time frame

Yes, that's not a peak period so all the Tilbury-bound trains stop at
Upminster en-route.

P.S. By all means go via some esoteric route avoiding zone 1 if you
want - but they're not routes I'd advise anyone just wanting to get
from A to B to use, as they're all rather more involved and
complicated than the straightforward route through central London.
(This is a journey where staying out of z1 doesn't make a great deal
of sense!)
