I've seen lines at various hours. At the evening bank, impossible. Last time I checked (several months ago) it was morning, and there was a long line. I don't know if they were waiting for admission due to processing all of them, or just waiting due to capacity. I went elsewhere.

You can't transit between Domestic vs International "Terminal" without avoiding customs.

Regarding the AA Lounge, the best food you can find is the "empanadas", which are way better than any plane food served in Economy, and I will say some food served in Business. Then you had pasta and soup, plus some "so so" sandwiches. I still prefer AA EZE Lounge than any domestic US airline lounge (AA,DL,UA) and some European too.
The Centurion at Eze was ok when they used to have a fixed menu, but last time there was a line and I decided to skip it and go to the AA instead.

I am in the domestic terminal now. I can confirm this space is limited to gates 24 thru 29, with no airside access to the international terminal and its lounges.

It appears they've gotten rid of the terminal A/B/C denotation.

Were inbound on AA from MIA in J, then onward (separate tickets, obviously) on FlyBondi (&#129310, to USH. Roughly 5 hour connection. The EZE website implies that the Salon Cndor is in terminal C (domestic?) and that entry can be purchased for $40-50USD. Does this make sense to anyone? Would there be any options for an arrival shower and a coffee? Any other suggestions?

I believe the Salon Condor is upstairs in the departures area of the International terminal. The domestic "terminal" is a sad little waiting room with a handful of gates where you then walk out onto the tarmac and board via stairs.
However, I noticed there was an arrivals lounge at EZE when you come downstairs to immigration - it's at the far left before you enter the queue to show your passport.
Here's the website: https://www.aeropuertosvipclub.com.ar/en/lounges

Is it possible to go through departure immigration exclusively to access the international lounges? And then return in time for boarding a domestic flight.

No. You'd be leaving Argentina, and then re-entering Argentina. Not to mention that you haven't paid any departure and arrival associated taxes, you aren't even getting to an immigration officer without scanning your int'l BP to get to that area.

Ah, oh well. I know I'd be leaving and reentering, which could require a lot of time, but I'd have a whole lot of time available. I've done this before at some other airports where there's only a single boarding pass scan to get to the secure area, and then inside the secure area is a partitioned section with immigration and gates for international flights. In some cases in other airports, the immigration section has electronic gates, so I can scan my passport, enter the international area, and then scan back to reenter the domestic secure area.

Edit: Actually, I just looked at some videos online of the EZE redesign from earlier this year, and it appears (it's not completely clear) that there's now a single boarding pass and security check, followed by domestic gates and further on immigration and the international gates...?

In domestic flights ex-EZE you check-in at the new (international) terminal and then walk all the way to the old Terminal C for a separate security control and boarding. There is just no way to access international lounges if flying domestic from Ezeiza.
