So the Electrum wallet will follow segwit2x?
I dont't know what Electrum will do. The whole point of bitcoin is to not have to wait to what will someone else do for you.

There is a risk that SPV wallets will follow the longest chain or the one with the most hashrate.

Full control means a full node, end of story. Anything else is a compromise where you are trusting X to do Y: not good.
