Or will it be one platform be for T5 only, and the other for both sets of
London-bound trains? (which would make more sense to the traveller, but be
logistically more difficult to implement, and result in a bizarre station
where twice as many trains went in one direction as t'other.)

Provided that the junction with the loop doesn't involve a flat
crossover, it will be extremely easy to implement; easier than your
other proposal. Trains from Hatton Cross go into the southern platform
and leave to the west, trains from the west go into the northern
platform and leave to the east. One converging and no conflicting
movements.

There are lots of stations with many more departures in one direction
than the other. For example, Peterborough, Cambridge, Queen's Park,
Harrow & Wealdstone, Watford Junction, Kennington, Baker Street (Main),
Whitechapel, Edgware Road, Aldgate, ....

The only new thing is that there aren't any "all change" trains
arriving.
