Feedback after my flights:
CDG, 2E: showed delta gold cars to agent at sky priority lane for security (which wasn’t busy at all), no problem and I even pass with my +2 (who doesn’t have any status). For the lounge access, the agent asked my skymiles number, and I guess checked if that was not a fake. FF for this flight wasn’t changed (still flying blue and has been credited on my account)
VFA: flying with Kenya Airways, economy ticket. According to the website, no Skyteam lounge there. I still went to the lounge and asked. They were confused because my elite plus was on delta, and my ff number on ticket was flying blue. They made a couple of calls and finally granted us access. They re-edited my boarding pass, changing the ff number to delta skymiles, which I didn’t want. I only noticed after, and contacted flying blue (the day after the flight): they just asked me if the flight was already credited on delta skymiles and as it wasn’t the case, they immediately credited it on my flying blue account.

So in the end, not the seamless experience, but it works.
