Stopovers still exist for CX awards using AS miles. I just booked one for summer 2021.
Whether the approach of booking the married segments first and changing one later works, I do not know, but that's a slightly different discussion. It would seem worth a try: I know when I've changed an itin before, the agent didn't need to re-query parts that weren't changing. But I don't know if the system throws up special logic about the married segments or not.
