Will I still keep my selected seats if I did not do OLCI?

I believe the most correct response is CX (as well as other airlines) has no obligation to keep your seat assignment and you can be reassigned for any reasons by CX (and other airlines). However, CX (and other airlines) will try its best to keep your seat assignment.
So in response, OLCI has no bearing on if you will be re-seated or not.

Your seat will be reserved for you but I have had rare occasions where I have been moved for no apparent reason i.e if someone important requests that seat. If you have already checked in you can only be kicked out if somebody REALLY important requests it

Even if you did your OLCI you still have a high chance of being kick out, for example on my recent Monday morning flight from HKG to PVG, I got bumped off, downgraded from CX PY to a later KA Y flight, on Friday later afternoon flight from PVG back to HKG, the check-in agent also asked me if I'm willing to take any Saturday flight, no upgrade to J, or accommodation provide, I said NO, I insisted to stick on my booked flight, there were just a bunch of DM on board (now I'm back to GR from DM), on these route, PVG, PEK, LHR, LAX, so it really depends on how lucky you are. DM entitled guaranteed seats so if your flight have more DMs on board, very likely you'll get bump off.

Interesting...they offer you NOTHING for your seat?
