Here's a report from June regarding the Airside shuttle from T5 - if coming on DL into LAX to connect to VA on the one booking you should not need to worry about luggage or checking in at T3.
I do note that the DL website indicates gate 51A for a shuttle:

I'm doing St Louis to Brisbane next month (last leg of a round-world), with DL flights from STL-DTW-LAX, then connecting onto VA8 to BNE. Does the shuttle from 51A still exist?
I reached out to Delta Assist on their twitter (@DeltaAssist) and they said to take the TBIT shuttle from outside baggage (which means going through security at TBIT, which is a delay I'm trying to avoid!).
Can anyone say with confidence whether the T5 to TBIT airside shuttle still exists or not?
