I returned from said trip today and will answer my own question, perhaps for others to reference in the future.
CI will interline baggage onto KLM (or certain other carriers), as mentioned on their website. So no need to collect bags.
I *would have* been able to make the "ideal" shorter transfer flight (arriving at 08h and departing at 09h50). Roughest part would have been passport contrôle, but staff were allowing those with short correspondances to cut the very long queue.
