do it into a headwind all the way
I'd expect nothing less from Oz, especially with my ability to attract shit weather.
I'd really have to lift my game if I was going off-road there. I can get away with poor planning and skipping water refills in Europe (ie. Badlands got unpleasant but not risky) but it could prove less annoying and more dangerous over there.

Yes, don't want to wing it wrt resupply over there!
I tended to be over cautious and, a couple of times, I ended up chucking away water that I wouldn't use for another day. But I still got unconfortably thirsty a couple of times too.But I got the impression that the off-road riding is mostly easier, unless you go looking for hills. Things like Rttr are much flatter than Europe, and Sarah says she went from complete novice off road to winning stuff in a couple of years / 1 ride.

Definitely do the Nullarbor. That is an experience. And try and do it into a headwind all the way to get the full pleasure of it.
But I wouldn't bother with the rest of the route. The road trains on the Nullarbor are not too bad as there is so little traffic on the road. It's the arseholes who increase in number one you reach Port Augusta that I would worry about.
I'd love to do Race to the Rock or even Terra Australis. The off-road stuff sounds great.
