If you are over revenue requirement, why not polish off P25 AND E35k (for which I think there IS early recognition and *S benefits!
Do a YYZ-HNL on UA. Often in the low $500s each way. Lieflat on many of the long segments from EWR IAD MDW and DEN Same day turns too. Should net you ~7500 AQM each direction.

Now if you were going for E50K under the same criteria, I'd call you crazy for not going for it.

I am one of the handful who managed to snag the cheap ANA biz fare YVR-SYD for Dec. Calculation says I should earn about 25868 miles. Add that to my upcoming biz fare BKK, I'm getting 43625 miles total. Again, should I try to gun for 7000 miles to get E50 status before end of 2017?

Some AC status is somewhat useful if you are flying a lot, although that mostly only kicks in with E35 or E50. It is some small amount of time and comfort back in exchange for spending a lot of time in a metal tube in the air.
If you are flying once twice a year Altitude status is mostly useless. Pay the fee for a CC with travel benefits and/or buy a lounge pass & PE / preferred seating and get the same benefits for a lot less money than your mileage run. Never mind the cost of your time to do the run.
