Checked luggage won't make any difference, as you won't have to claim it anywhere. An interesting point that hasn't been discussed on the DL forum is that CDG will be changing the letters of the concourses on the International Terminal. What used to be 2E and S3, along with the new S4, will become K, L, and M. Walking will be the best way, and with the new signs, connections are supposed to become easier.



If your flight arrives in K (2E), you have to clear immigration and then use the landside connecting channel to 2F. If the flight arrives in L (S3), 2F is just a few steps away through a walkway. If the flight arrives in M (S4), you will need to take the train to L and then use the walkway to 2F. Your connecting time should be enough, and remember, as a Gold, you will be able to use the SkyPriority queues at immigration and at the security point. Even though you might not have your GM credentials, it will be displayed on your boarding pass, and the airport staff will know if you are eligible when they scan your BP.
Actually, as shown in the diagram you included, the name of the boarding piers will not change, but the gate numbers will:
- main 2E pier: formerly gates E21 through E47, now gates K21 through K54
- satellite S3: formerly gates E51 through E76, now gates L21 through L53
- satellite S4: originally scheduled to have gates E81 and above, will have gates M24 through M50
