It'll become a place to go shopping for middle distances locals. Nothing more.
That doesn't require a massive railway infrastructure. In fact going by whats
happened at the current Westfield centre in west london , most people will
go by car anyway.

It's unlikely most people will go by car. One attempt will be enough to persuade them to shop elsewhere! And that's the danger, the real possibility that the whole Stratford development project will fail.
I live in Leyton about two miles away and I can assure you that Tfl have ruined the road system in Stratford. There are traffic lights every 25 yards and conflicting traffic flows have been re-introduced. (About 40 years ago a one way gyratory system was introduced to eliminate conflicting traffic movement and smooth traffic flow.)
On the the rare occasions I shop in Stratford I always go by tube.
