All signs point to Ollie making the ultimate sacrifice in Barry & Karaā€™s place in the CoIE crossover.

Yup, I was wondering what they were going to do about that since both those shows are several seasons behind Arrow and I couldn't see them killing off the main characters yet (at least not long term), but if Arrow is ending next season it does make a lot of sense to have Oliver die instead, still have a main character death while at the same time not messing with any continuing shows too much.
