Maybe, or maybe not. There is not much space around the loaf. At least the loaf+block version (
xs11_w69a4z33) is compatible with the three-glider synthesis displayed on Catagolue, and only one of four gliders doing the recovery work needs to cross the input/output lanes:

I was thinking more on the lines of an edgy loaf conduit:
Code: Select all

This one works, but unfortunately the block gets hit by the HWSS first. Perhaps (but not definitely), there might be one with no catalysts on the lane.

Neither of these destructions appears to be notable or interesting enough to post them one at a time (and especially reposting multiple times, as with the xs24_x69bo8a6zca5132 case) --

Without any extra constraints to the puzzle,
the majority of small still lives have an one-glider destruction, and
all sufficiently small still lives have a two-glider destruction.
Finding an one-glider destruction is easy when one exists; there are just finitely many ways to hit a finite still life with a glider, which can be enumerated directly.
Finding a two-glider destruction is also easy in practice; try every one-glider collision that settles into a compact constellation without escaping gliders, and try hitting the final pattern with a second glider.
What
could be interesting is (for example) small still lives for which you cannot find an one- or two-glider destruction. At least up to 22 bits, I believe all still lives are 2G-destructible. Probably the smallest strict still life without a 2G destruction would be significantly larger than that.

There is really no difference between reconstructing an OT SL and preemptively constructing it. Taking one step more, you can use directly the gliders, instead of using them to construct the SL.

Based on
this post by Kazyan I created a useless and incomplete Heisenburp where the hat is definitely inaccessible, and the glider can't get out due to the eater 3. (But the main point is that the conduit has a large gap in the middle which the HWSS can fit through somehow).
