That's assuming a lot.

I'm sitting in my living room at about 2750m/9030ft, so yeah, Denver is "low" to me too. Except when I've been at my client site on the east coast for a month. Then I feel it for a few days before I re-acclimate. Even though I've lived here for years, acclimated years ago, and my other "office" ranges from 9600ft to 12,000ft.
OP is from Oz, and unless living at the highest point in Australia, Mount Kosciuszko 2229 M, the "Mile High City" is going to feel a bit high. Don't underestimate how being slightly winded can slow you down getting from gate B17 to B52.
Never mind if for some reason DEN-OMA gets an RJ and you have to sprint beyond the slidewalks into the 70-90's extension for regionals. All the DEN-OMA right now for April is mainline, but with UA you never know when they'll turn over more flying to commuter lines.
If a longer connection is available, I'd request it. Yes, you probably can make it no problem. IF everything is on time, you're not in the back of the plane, and you don't notice the altitude when you're sprinting because the GA was delayed getting to the jetway to open the door..
