given all this new info should I just buy it today and pray for the best, or just keep monitoring this flight for another 3 months or so before I pull the trigger?
The Polaris lounge and seats don't do you any good if your upgrade doesn't clear. The lounge also doesn't do you any good if your upgrade happens to clear at the gate.

The Polaris lounge at LAX is now open. DEN, not so much.

The cheapest PHX-NRT fares require a 14-day minimum stay. I'm guessing your trip is shorter than that?
