Your understanding/interpretation might be widely shared, but there are some visa service(legal sites that state, a return/onward ticket is also needed for tourist visas as their extension is somehow limited to one time 30/45 days
My experience of some of the visa service/legal sites is that they are not entirely accurate, whether due to ignorance or just being out of date I don't know. I certainly wouln't trust many of them.
The Timatic wording seems pretty clear to me and that's what we need to go by to get past check in. The only grey area is check in staff accepting the extension sentence in the same way the one I talked to did and that would be enough (for me) not to risk it.
I can't recall hearing of anyone with a tourist visa being refused travel due to lack of an onward flight.
