On the LH2 side, that produces water ice that sinks in LH2, and hot hydrogen.

Water ice at LH2 temps is very very hard and could jam up injectors, filters,
valves.

Perhaps an interwarmer, off the burner or cat pack pressurizing the LOX.

If you don't mind GH2 piping in your LOX/GOX tank.

(inverted) oxygen flame ?

( whats used in ammonia synthesizing. There it is high pressure H2
and heating by flame fed from injected oxygen )
