This makes much more sense than just telling Y fliers as a group that "you're not worthy"
Good idea - tickets that don't get 100% mileage don't get lounge benefits even if you have DM status. Rather like the old rule for upgrades. That solves the thundering herd problem without irritating the more premium Y passengers.
