OpUps are not a GGL benefit! You do have your Jokers too.
I've not had an OpUp for a while, I'm usually in First or CE anyhow. However on the rare occasions over the last 3+ years I could only confirm a Club World ticket (A fare just too expensive/sold out, no AUP or Avios upgrades) I was OpUped anyway.
It will be interesting to see how this works out.
