Single ticket with legal MCT = no reason to change it, any misconnect will be rerouted by QF at no charge and with priority to get on the next flight (which are hourly from BNE-SYD most of the time, quite frequent service on QF). I would not worry about it, and no real advantage with carryon vs. checked bags other than having to lug carryon on the bus I've take NRT-BNE a couple of times, connecting onward on QF, in the past 3 years and it was smooth and quick each time. Delays can happen any time (and NRT is bad for delays having a single runway), but QF will take good care of you if it happens.

That's why I entered the comments "removed a sentence which could be confusing/misleading" when asked the reason for editing the post which appears at the bottom of that post.
Anyway the whole point of this thread was to answer the OP's question about transiting in BNE which has been addressed.

Absolutely right. But, you're barking on the wrong tree - I was not the one who introduced heaps of unnecessary fluff into reasonably simple answer, including "this example is not specific to Australia but anywhere in the world"

The inter termial bus at BNE is outside the secure zone, so its on the public road.
One bus will go from the BNE dom to BNE int to Skygate DFO, and another one goes from Skygate DFO to BNE int to BNE dom
No bus ticket needed, just jump onto the bus from BNE int to BNE dom.
