Shouldn't the high speed line run from St Pancras, as an extension (via
reversal) of the Kent domestics?

Not enough platforms, and there's be the mother of all flat junctions
just outside the station.

It won't be very attractive to international travellers if once they arrive
at St P. they have to schlep over to euston or paddington with all their
luggage by foot or tube.

International pax wanting to travel onward have been estimated at just
two trains-full a day, apparently.

Would a large junction matter? Its not like theres trains leaving every
minute clapham junction style.

There would be, once you've combined the HS1 and HS2 traffic.

But there aren't enough platforms, so it's a non-starter.
