The only thing that MIGHT be a compromise is you fly this September:

DEP-STOP1

Then do "stopover" until February 2021 to resume your trip and nest in a separately booked STOP1-DEP round-trip.

That works if you have any time and eagerness for a (shorter) vacation this year and go to a similar area on your first stopover on the RTW. this works because while you have to depart within 1year of booking, you THEN have another extra year to complete travel. Makes sense?

EDIT: An example with made-up dates and cities:

RTW Segment 1: YYZ-ATH, stop (September 2020)
Cash: ATH-YYZ (September 2020)
Cash: YYZ-ZRH (February 2021) - ATH (March 2021)
RTW Segment 2: ATH-MEL (March 2021)
RTW Segment 3: MEL-TYO (April 2021)
RTW Segment 4: TYO-YYZ (June 2021)

Or do I just need to commence travel by then? Looking at June 3 to 23, which would be beyond the one year mark.

HND-HNL
HNL-YYZ

Once I get to HNL, I'll book my own shuttles to other islands.

I am able to find J seats for 2 for the YYZ-HND in December, and the HNL-YYZ in January. However, for the HND-HNL, all I am seeing on the AE site is 1 flight with Asiana, HND-ICN in J then ICN-HNL in Y.

Since I am a S100K, should I just go ahead and book this, and keep checking to see if more options open up between HND-HNL, then use my free change to make the switch?
Or wait it out? or try other routings?

i heard the new ac program will return the multiple stops like before.

So the system clearly doesn't care.

Or, is it better to save the time to realize if the agent can make it work or otherwise, by saying, I need to put together 2 stops and a destination trip? This way, i can always HUCA when the agent answers with a straight-no.
