For me, what makes this OWV outstanding compared to other SOWV is its size, the gym, more space/bedrooms and separate space for your private chef, private butler, ...
But most of this can - to my understanding only be really used - if you bring an entourage of servants with you.
All the rest (privacy during daytime, private dinner and lunch in the villa) can be had for a fraction of the price with the downsides of no private gym and the need to share the butler with a few other people.
And this is not because JJE is not worth it but rather because the STR did such a great job for lousy OWV tourists such as us and since a regular OWV is already large and STR suites are even larger.
I am aware that luxury travel is a subjective topic and don’t want to talk anyone out of this but I wanted to at least foster some thinking around possibly shifting the priorities a bit.

Apart from that, suggest to reach out to the property directly and check with them. For us, they were fast in response. It might potentially take a bit longer these days as they are closed (as far as I understood).
