Fdevs! I need an answer before I spend money I shouldn't!

I started a thread a while back
https://forums.frontier.co.uk/showthread.php?t=247240
To help decide what controller to buy, however alot rides on the extent of customisation we'll be able to have with the upcoming remappable controls.
Now I've made an enquiry about this before in the official Xbox questions sticky but it appears the thread is quite literally questions only, no answers!
So I've now condensed my question into 3 specific points.

1. Will we allways have to use 'alternate controls' for lateral thrusters?

2. Will we be able to disable/disregard controls we deem non-essential? E.G. undercarriage, cargo scoop, ships lights which can be accessed via systems panel, gal/system maps via nav panel

3. It was mentioned on the Xbox live stream a few weeks back about someone wanting to use their controller as a mini hotas, so will we be able to use an analogue control for thrusters effectively?

A response would be greatly appreciated, even if it's just:
No
No
No
Cheers!

1: My non-combat ships will have
Left stick: Pitch & roll
Right stick: Lateral and vertical thrusters
Triggers: Yaw.

It gets complicated when you want to add weaponry

On topic know i did mention this in another post a day or so ago, il keep it short and sweet..

fully customisable controls 1.6 + Cronus adaptor + hotas set up with pedals = full flight stick setup on Xbox one.

It must work?

The only problem was you needed a PC or laptop to act as a bridge for the flight stick.
However this
+the Cronus max =plug and play! Possibly
