Sky Priority is a published, alliance-wide benefit for all Elite Plus members. Like lounge access, Delta could only take Sky Priority away from Golds by making them Elie, not Elite Plus. However, that wouldn't surprise me at all.

No, at least not any more than any other Elite Plus. (Delta removed all status-based lounge access when flying Delta metal in an airport with no SkyTeam-operated lounge, but that change affects Diamonds as much as Golds. Equal opportunity "enhancements".)
The only way restriction on lounge access for Golds relative to Platinums is VS lounges in LHR. Originally, Golds didn't get access to any VS lounge, but DL now lets Golds into VS lounges in the US.
