I'm not suggesting supplanting the whole of heathrow with manston. But even

Check the prevailing wind directions, also the location of the stacks
for LHR and LGW.

It might be convenient to have a stack downwind of an airport but its not
essential.

So do you reckon the head of UK ATC was wrong to see problems for
Schipol and the Netherlands with "Boris Island"? Or that with Manston,
some 45km further East, they just wouldn't feature?

Well somehow planes managed to land at manston for decades so why not ask them
how they solved it.
