I agree - missing out Loughborough Junction would also be sinful as it
allows interchange with Thameslink (and thus orbital connections for
those from Wimbledon, Sutton, & Streatham). The problem is the
viaduct; new stations on the SLL viaduct at Brixton and Lougborough
Jcn will be expensive.

Not new, though, that's the whole point. Way back when, there was a
station called "East Brixton", situated on the viaduct at the junction
of Barrington Road and Brixton Station Road, just off Coldharbour Lane.
Not beyond the bounds of possibility to reopen it. And Loughborough
Junction has disused platforms - hence it is a "junction" - which could
easily be brought into use.
