Then I take a look at the long lines at T3 security (even the elite one can be slow) and feel very good about my decision.

On both occasions, no one mentioned my domestic boarding pass and gate. I don't think they care at all. If anyone balks, I suggest saying that you're going to the United Club right there in G post-security before your domestic flight.
^ As have I but be aware that G has/prefers to use body scanners so you'll have to deal with being an opt-out (but that's a discussion for another forum )
