Personally I would do the upgrade, because you will be able to sleep a lot better to CDG and then enjoy a meaningful amount of time in the CDG lounge before your next flight. If it was just a one-way DXB-CDG, then it's a lot less compelling for me, personally.
Glad to know that I'll have access to the LP lounge during my transit in CDG. How long would you recommend spending in the lounge? I've read some reviews by bloggers who rave about the lounge, and I've also read some positive reviews that also it's overhyped (i.e., they wouldn't do it again).
