It would only need to be 1 train every 10 minutes or so to Charing X to be
useful and for every one of those you turn a westbound one from stratford
early.

Where?

I dunno. I'm sure there are some crossovers at westminster or london bridge.

You dunno then.

The line when extended was not designed to have an operative branch (for
public services) off to Charing Cross.

They manage a far more complex service on other lines.

True; but I'm not arguing it's impossible. I'm arguing it would lead to
a worse service overall.

Not if done properly. Mind you , this is LU so thats a big ask.

The Jubilee line needs all the capacity it can get to the east.
