Also, does Amex have a history of adding additional restaurant spending bonuses over time? If not, what strategy do people who spend a lot in restaurants use to maximize points earning in that category?

AFAIK the AU card will have a different number. If you’re just going to add the card to Apple Pay, why not just add your card instead? I don’t think there is a tangible difference.

I also don’t believe Amex adds additional spending offers as lucrative as this onto the Plats. However, after you’re done with the 15x Resy for the Vanilla Plat, you could grab the 10x dining 100K offer on the Schwab Plat (which is considered a second product).
