Nothing new here. This has always be the case for Elites+ pax since they launched those MiNi/light fares.

So if I'm doing Economy say on CDG to LHR, just as an example, which is 5XP do I get those same 5XP if I'm buying a Light ticket?
Yes. XPs do not depend on fare but on class of travel and flight category (domestic, medium haul, etc). Miles depend now on fare paid

Well...yes and no. The old system was giving you a few miles and a qualifying segment. The new system will still give you a few miles (likely a bit more than before as the light fares are not that light) and it gives you some XPs instead of a qualifying segment. So no big difference IMO.
