Fortunately, I did status match my wife to Velocity Gold, just waiting to get the membership materials from an Aussie friend. So at the very least will have access to Al Reem Lounge.
I think you will be fine. I think those in sales and reservations may not necessarily know the precise lounge policies, and arrival F access seems reasonable. AMEX Platinum certainly said arrival F access is permitted.
