The devaluation didn't improve ex-US F award availability based on my experience. But I was able to get two DFW-DXB F awards for 2027 last week; but the days of readily available SFO-DXB are long gone.
It just takes work to search the calendar, day by day, and different iterations of city pairs until you find something. I don't search ex LAX/SFO anymore.
