So do people then cross through the District trains to get between the
Gospel Oak and Shoeburyness lines, too, like at Jamaica station on the
LIRR in New York? Or are their routings such that there would be no
reason to do that anyway?

I've never attempted to observe it, but it would be a logical move for
someone trying to travel from somewhere on the Gospel Oak line to places
like Basildon or Leigh-on-Sea.

It doesn't work in the reverse direction; the platform layout is roughly
(north at the top):

GOBLIN bay
platform
Eastbound District
platform, with bay at north-west end
Eastbound LTSR (c2c) to Upminster
Westbound LTSR (c2c) from Upminster
platform
Westbound District
Eastbound LTSR (c2c) to Dagenham
platform
Westbound LTSR (c2c) from Dagenham
