Do you think it's worth it is the 30k extra miles?
Absolutely not, unless you typoed 'worst'. Since Centurion Lounge opened at SFO, I have no reason to use GFL unless departing gate nearby,

No way. LHR is a clear #1.
By a million miles.

To be blunt, the GF lounge at SFO is a sad joke. It features some very tired sushi, cup-o-noodles and this very scary looking fatty beef and noodle dish that you ladle broth into (after you remove the saran wrap). You get your choice of screw-top wine bottles.
I actually prefer the couscous in the UC.
Unless you get seats 2A or 2K, the UD is superior to GF. The center seats in GF are unpleasant.
With a partner I agree. GF not useful for any personal contact notions. Extremely rarely an issue on such itineraries for me, but in your case would stick with BF for "romantic" ideas. All the best.
