Seems like the best solution to a short-term problem.
That said, I cannot help but recall consistently seeing full three-set long units being run throughout the pandemic when barely anyone was travelling…
They’ve been doing this for ~18 months on the city <-> beckton/Woolwich lines.
At the time, it was advertised that the trains would be smaller but run more frequently. As you might guess, the timetable never changed…
People get caught unawares at Bank when standing at the front of the platform hoping to get the front seat. Shorter trains stop two thirds of the way along.

So more chances to be the train driver…?
