I've been elite+ for several years now, but if my Memory is correct, it also worked when I was LH FTL travelling TK on cheap eco sale (long time ago).
IMHO it depends much more on how your carry on looks (my two pieces are the maximum dimensions, but look small next to me - different story if my wife would take the same two bags).
I rarely use the checkin counters any more because everything fits my two cary ons for almost every trip and TK offers mobile check in from most airports - but those signs should help if you ever have that "2 pieces for elite" discussion.
Have you seen those signs at others TK counters, too?
I haven't seen the signs but I always thought the 2 carryon + personal item was for j and e+. I fly with a similar setup, a spinner plus 40L backpack. No one's ever made any fuss about backpack. Though, they love to weigh the spinner at the counter.
