But I have to have faith that Emirates know this as well.....

Does anyone have experience of this?

Yes, pre-Covid this was all very simple. At checkin you get a set of vouchers, covering chauffeur drive to the hotel (Merridian for J and F passengers), the hotel itself and meals. There is a thread somewhere here with all the information.
How it works now, with all the testing and travel restrictions I have no idea. The hotel inside the terminal would certainly be the better solution, but I don’t know if it is even open. Pre-Covid it was not used for this programme.
