BTW, am I correct in assuming that "
3xpl" hasn't been added to the list due to not having a rating up to this point, or is it something else?

Regarding this explorer, as far as I see, Bitcoin_Arena said he can't rate it and since then nobody did it... If you look at 1miau's post (just next to the one you linked), he told Bitcoin_Arena to wait until someone would rate this explorer, in order to have some information about it but, since then, nobody did it... This is why it was not added to OP yet...
You are right, I have not added "3xpl" to my list of block exporers back then because I've interpreted the post of Bitcoin_Arena that way, that Bitcoin_Arena still needs time to review it properly, especially to give an accurate rating for our table.
My coment back then:
Seems like a legitimate Blockexplorer.
No worry for rating yet, if you are not sure how to rate it, take your time until you know.
We don't have any time limit on this.
