As per title, can you switch between contactless and paper ticket at Luton airport without having to step back a train?

No, you would need to go to barriers to touch out and then recommence your journey on a 'paper' ticket.

It may be possible to make a same train exit and touch in heading southbound if the train uses slow line platform 1 as that platform has a gateline on the platform.

Maps of the station layout are available on the National Rail website.

Not a chance in the northbound direction, and wouldn't be easy southbound unless you are: a) on a train calling at platform 1; b) positioned correctly for the gateline and c) not encountering hordes of witless tourists and their tons of luggage blocking your way.
