Over the past 3.5 years, my upgrade success rate (even as a silver to begin with) on said airline has consistently been over 90%. Only a couple of routes have a high enough concentration of elites that would put your u/g at risk.

Only true for longhaul. Intra-Europe, it's quite possibly the best business class product available (a lot better than the big 3).

Everyone gets it for European flights. For intercontinental, out of the 3 tiers, only silvers have to pay a small amount of miles for the upgrade.
