With the 1-2 layout on the E-175, DL could fit 8 pax in F while giving everyone an empty seat next to them.

I thought the whole point of only doing free elite upgrades at the gate was to take account of the fact that if two (paid or upgraded) FC passengers were traveling together, they would be seated together so that one more upgrade for someone else could be confirmed.
