It is not your first international sector so it does not need to be confirmed, even if it was, you could still do the confirmed L and waitlist T option.
Try it, I would like to know if I am barking up the wrong tree
Actually what you should do is just find another date (hopefully just +/- 1-3 days from your actual travel date). Then Issue the ticket. Then immediately changed the date back to the original date (if T is still U/A book in L and WL in T). If they have seats available and given you are Ruby Oneworld, i am sure they will confirm it.
That way you don't have to miss out and pay the reissue fee. (despite there is still a chance you will loose out of the WT+, but I think it is worth the gamble.
