Hi aaaxton
here are my answers to your questions:
  1. Yes, your current itinerary is valid, In particular your flights to and from Alaska. As has been pointed out, the online tool is very buggy.
  2. I've never heard of QR ticketing a RTW, under any circumstances. I tried once and failed.
  3. I have a few suggestions for you.
Firstly, my very basic understanding is that for earning tier points - BA and AA bad; other Oneworld airlines OK; and QR is double-plus good?
So, you have used 13 segments, leaving three of the allowed 16 - up to two in Asia, and up to two in Nth America.

Instead of JFK-TYO, how about JFK-HKG-TYO or JFK-HKG-CMB-TYO
TKMAXX 's JFK-ANC-JFK looks good to me, presuming it's on AS not AA
Instead of HKG-DOH, how about HKG-MNL-DOH or HKG-DPS-DOH
The incremental base fare cost going from a DONE3 to a DONE4 is JPY149,000 (about GBP775), but would allow itineraries to include:
- HKG-AKL-DOH, or JFK-SYD-TYO
- HKG-JNB-DOH
