Jakarta D to I connection

We're flying on two separate tickets, DPS-CGK in economy paid on Garuda connecting to JL726 in F (don't think that matters other than potentially avoiding checkin lines.)

I'm trying to determine what DPS-CGK to book. The JL flight leaves out of Terminal 2 at 21:25 and it seems the Garuda flight I'm looking at always lands in Terminal 2 as well (it's an A330.)

My preference would be to book GA417 arriving at 19:20. I've never been to CGK but have heard horror stories about transiting, mostly I to D or I to I.

I know GA and JL have an interline agreement but given we're on separate tickets it's going to be up to the DPS GA ticket counter on checking our luggage all the way through. Our bags are of a size to carry-on all the way through if needed.

Is two hours sufficient assuming we're landing and departing out of Terminal 2? It doesn't seem that there is a good lounge to speak of in CGK and I would prefer to maximize my time in DPS. Additionally GA417 is an A330 compared to the earlier flights being 737s.

Thanks in advance.
