Having done both a few times - I agree.
OP no spa booking for non - QF F......however, they allow walk ins on the day. Get there early enough & have a little luck on your side, you'll be ok.
In regards to early check-in. 3 hours is the norm but you can check in earlier if you have HLO or are transiting through SYD.
I've enjoyed many 5+ hours in the lounge as I start my journey from BNE^
