Yes, this is one of the reasons I said the best value is full redemptions for F & J specifically. Full redemptions for Y are poor value due to the high fuel surcharge.

Now that Y to J upgrades are no longer possible on long haul, paying additional cash + miles to get from Y to W is not ideal, even if it's only US$300 more.

From W to J upgrade the fare difference between R and E fares is quite huge.
