Since partner operated flights book as a partner-marketed flights on award travel, that effectively means you only get MQDs on DL-metal flights from what I can discern.
It's in the T&C's for program updates --

"Beginning January 1, 2024, SkyMiles Members can earn MQDs on Delta Award Travel tickets operated by Delta partners, in Main Cabin (or equivalent) or above, when booked through any direct Delta channel, with MQDs calculated based on miles redeemed toward the Award Ticket price divided by 100. Government-imposed taxes and fees do not earn MQDs."
