Should I be concerned about being bumped backwards on the plane? (I’m assuming a reward booking is bottom of the pile here)

There’s no evidence that being on a reward booking is more likely to see you downgraded than a cash fare (both happen).

There are plenty of people who say they have been downgraded using a 241 so I don’t think you can say there is no evidence, it is unlikely though. I would say the time to panic is if you can’t check in on-line. If that happens, then I would be on the phone to BA and if they can’t help, make sure you are there in time for the early flight (if it looks like there are seats available).
