Indeed. Also: what about instructions for the DLR, the Tramlink,
riverboats, national rail services, on all of which (in defined areas)
you can use an Oyster card (and maybe a contactless one, for all I
know). [...]

Re contactless - yes to all the above except riverboats. Maybe they
accept contactless in their own right (i.e. as a retailer) but it's not
part of the TfL contactless acceptance.

Two other exceptions are the cable car and the heritage Routemasters
(the conductors' kit doesn't do it).

FWIW Southern are actively promoting contactless for travel in the
London zones now. They always were a bit ahead of the curve on such
things, being an Oyster PAYG proponent back in ye day.
