east-to-west directionality to be some kind of immutable law, since it
would make the Tarim basin the only viable homeland for the IEs.

What about the Russian "eastward-ho"? ;-)

If it hadn't been for the Huns, the consequences of the East Germanic

"classic" mounted nomads -- a style of life which developed pretty late
in history.
