Eurostar has annoying pre-checkin times too though at least for London - they recommend over an hour.

I think that does make it faster to fly even with 2*airport to centre transit times - though extra time for checked bag in an airplane might just swing it back the other way.

If you could turn up for eurostar 5 minutes before, like a normal train it'd probably be better.

Those pre-checkin times are needed because the queues are insane. There should be much higher capacity at rush hour
