It seems to me that in a well-maintained cooling system there will be no sludge anywhere in the system.
This afternoon I pulled the "plug" from the end of the hose connected to the upper intake that used to run to the TBH.

Not a hint of "sludge". Clean as a whistle.

Theories are useful. Facts are better.

There's clearly nuthin' wrong with running a line from the upper intake to the expansion tank. Go ahead and do that if it makes you feel better. But I think the facts I have reported show it's not necessary and there is no problem with just plugging the lines.

Live and let live.
