Does anyone have any more information on these possibilities?

Not me. Although i did find this very nice map:

Which has all sorts of intriguing stuff on it. The Arc of Opportunity!
Some kind of future station on the way to Dagenham Dock (on the LTS line,
rather than the CTRL, i assume). Crossrail going via North Greenwich or
something.

Catford doesn't seem like an obvious destination as it parallels an
existing railway, although it could be useful for interchange to/from
services to Bromley.

Nick O'Donnell is quoted as saying:

"They all got a value for money scoring at the end, and Catford scores
quite favourably."

Maybe it's not that it's an outrageously useful station, but it is a cheap
one.

They're not planning to assimilate the railway line between Lewisham and
Catford, are they? I guess not, since that would mean either cutting off
the Mid Kent line to Hayes or building a connection from it to the Catford
loop, to allow trains to get anywhere, and that would be extremely
expensive.
