I’ve asked an ATC manager the same question and apparently there’s data that supports safer and more efficient ops overall with landings on the outers and departures on the inners.
Landings on inner and takeoffs on outer - that's standard configuration at my base after an incursion of the inner rwy by landing traffic 3 months ago.
It would be no interference if we can perform RNAV approach - unfortunately not available.
Usually TWR informs arriving traffic about crossing in progress but it does not help much.
And taxi out times are much longer nowadays.
So definitely less efficient runways' use. But maybe at least it's safer...
