For me, it is something I can survive a TPAC flight in. But a far, far cry from RL (which is a modern flat bed 1-2-1).
There is no upgrade path for you on this.
But the Elite cabin probably only costs about $1900 or so, not a bad deal.
That is a good guide. The Elite seat is indeed very similar to what most US carriers have in domestic F. The recline leaves a lot to be desired, but the pitch and seat width are very nice.
