It would be no problem to only allow cross-play on official servers. And the beta is PC only anyway so this would not be a reason.
I believe it would be very important to allow community hosted servers once the beta hits a certain scale. Of course when only a limited number of people have access to the beta it definitely makes sense to have the testing happen on the official servers.
