I don't know about the Silmarillion, but I do know Oropher's move east is described in Unfinished Tales somewhere. I think it's in a rather substantive note on the history of Celeborn + Galadriel. At some point I could have given you a direct citation because I researched it for a ficlet I wrote about the decision to move to the Greenwood. But really, I haven't thought about it nearly as much as you have. I really enjoyed hearing your reasoning.

... but fascinating. I love all these details.
