I’d suggest that outside of the school holidays less than 5% of flights would NEED a midnight/ 1am call.
You have hit the nail on the head, the need only really arises for the inbound flight for those school holidays that all students return on the same Monday (eg Feb half term), as BA almost never release further seats for the weekend prior. Of course, there is always the possibility of a BAEC sickness bug, but this may be frowned upon by HfP.
Re HKG. BA LHR HKG fees/charges are lower booking as two one ways (based on the old Avios pricing/third option ie 75000 off peak/90000 peak, it’s £250 cheaper pp in J compare to booking as a return)
