Assuming that the cabin is indeed 3/12 and remains 3/12, any reason not to consider moving to K seats, with F seats used as our beds? With EF showing 9s across the board, there seems little risk of oversold op-ups. Does QF let non-revs book/sit in F? Would rather stay in our A seats if the cabin starts to fill up in the final day or at the gate.
Qantas doesn't process international upgrade requests (using points) until a few days prior to departure, sometimes as little as 24 hours or less for its lowest (bronze) tier members.
It is possible the cabin could fill up in the space between now and travel. I'd reassess your seating options only on the day of departure and again at check-in.
