I will continue to fly TPAC CX in paid J (and the occasional EK and JL) and accrue those trips to AS, to renew at 75K. AS will also see additional west coast and Hawaii traffic from me.

T-cons (NYC, BOS) in paid front cabin will go first to B6, second to DL.

I see spend on UA dropping drastically from currently levels (will finish this year over $20k) - could easily be under $5k next year on upgradeable tickets only.
I tend to find myself in a situation at least a couple of times a year where UA is the only realistic option for my itinerary. The Explorer card benefits are nice and the LAX lounge is really nice in terms of food...but it's definitely at best a break-even situation.
