If you are using the 10811 as part of a GPSDO the PLL
should take care of any number of slow-moving changes
in frequency; whether it's temperature, humidity, voltage,
OCXO ageing, DAC drift, phase-of-the-moon, etc.

So I don't see a compelling need to "protect" the OCXO
in the ways being proposed.

If you are in a harsh, or fast-changing environment then
do the math to see if your OCXO dF/dt exceeds what the
PLL can close relative to the dF/dt of the GPS reference.
