I would argue that CX SL is already the hardest Oneworld Ruby status to earn, and reducing any benefit for that matter would be disappointing.
Yet CX planned to slowly diminish SL’s privilege / make clearer distinction from GO - like arranging SL to queue in PEY during group boarding trial. That hardly is a deal breaker, but losing lounge access would definitely be. Finger crossed.

The CX SL (like often OWBronze for other airlines0 is a great way to enforce loyalty for not-so-frequent flyers.
Removing lounge access on CX flights for SL would be a bad move. But I am not an expert, nor have any connection to CX management. Just common sense.
Brilliant world if common sense prevails, these are mad times we live in.
