Other nuggets of info
SFO has two runway pairs:
10L/28R 11,870 ft 3,618 m Asphalt
10R/28L 11,381 3,469 Asphalt
and
1R/19L 8,650 2,637 Asphalt
1L/19R 7,650 2,332 Asphalt
These runways were designed and built with non-standard runway separation (centerlines of the parallel runways are only 750 feet / 230 m apart) Any time weather conditions affect SFO, ATC flow control is put into effect because only one runway of each runway pair can be used. This may mean delayed arrivals (and subsequent departures) as well as diversions (usually to SJC, but may include OAK).

AA gates are so far away from… Uber pick ups 
Arrived from JFK around 12am and it took me about 20-25 minutes to the parking lot…
On the other hand, AS terminal 2 D gates are my favorite in terms of convenience.

I consistently use the Air France lounge at SFO in International A from Terminal 1 - connected landside inside security. This is a Priority Pass lounge and consistently has champagne available. As a result I've not even seen the inside of the Admirals club since they moved over to T1.

Landside means outside security. Do you mean airside?

I land at 1255am on flagship business from jfk.
Connecting flight is at 7am on Alaska. Guessing it’s best to just chill in the terminal than to get to a hotel at that time. I will sleep on the planes.
will the admirals club still admit me at 430am (when they open) to take a shower? I land at 1255am so still same day right?
Any confirmed reports the showers are open in the sfo club? It’s listed on the website as an amenity
