Given how much easier they've made it to earn EQMs in the last year or two (2x on D/R/I/A fares, 3x on F/J on AA, vs. 1.5 for all previously), there's even less incentive now to overlook not meeting the stated EQM requirements. And as others have alluded to, only modestly going over the EQD hurdle is not going to matter, there are probably TONS of folks in that situation.
But as a bit of a consolation, your "high" EQD balance will better position you on the upgrade priority list vs. other platinum pros (or maybe not). At least it will be factored in.
