For 2023 they really need to up their game though and do something for this tier. I have around $60k QAS and if all they give me is a shared email address I'll be seriously disappointed.

I also found it MUCH easier to make friends with the front desk at hotels I am staying at frequently and they'll almost always upgrade me. This week the hotel I'm staying at is completely overbooked and they managed to find me a quiet room on a high floor which I appreciate. No "ambassadors" involved...
I agree, my best upgrades have been secondary to befriending the hotel staff, or through the relationship my luxury travel advisor has with the hotel.
