Is there any simple way to ellipsis-end text in TextField? I have a read-only text field on a single line.

A "read only TextField" is, by definition, NOT a text field. Swap it out with a Text that uses the exact same vuisual styling. Everything else is a workaround.

BasicTextField does have a readOnly parameter, and having non-editable textfields is a legit use case (disable editing while loading or when you don't have edit rights).

It's weird how there is not overflow param like on Text. I'd open a feature request on the Google issue tracker

I wouldnt say its weird, its a text field, realistically, how would an overflow parameter behave where you have readOnly & scrollState & even lineLimits ? It makes no sense to add one. And my hot take is that readOnly shouldn't have been API also.
Its dead simple and more idiomatic to swap out the innerTextField for a Text composable based on whatever boolean flag or logic via the text field decorator.
