Tennyson was also a bit squeamish about including a few things, maybe due to Victorian sensibilities. Mordred is just nephew, not also son through incest. The Elaine of Astolot doesn't offer to be Lancelot's side piece.
That said, Elaine of Astolot's story was told better by Tennyson than Mallory. Built up her growing affection then rejection by Lancelot better, rather than just dropping dead right away.
