Great location, especially for the increasing number of CX flights that tend to depart from gates 40-50 nowadays. Hopefully this, combined with the reopening of the Wing F lounge, will help ease the overcrowding at the Pier, especially when they start renovating it.

Two things:
1) Does CX have any plans to open a lounge at the Satellite gates? If not, CX should have enough pull to avoid any CX/KA planes departing there.
2) Those little round chairs with a tiny desk? Not practical for a person with western body type. I'm only 6 feet 200 pounds and I find it very tiny for comfort, and the desk is so small you can't really do much besides a tiny Ipad (forget a laptop.) Every time I'm at the Wing lounge temp F side I find those chairs to be empty and everybody simply sits the sofas. Looks like CX really falls in love with them as they are featured in the newer lounges. Why?

Lounges can get very busy at peak times, and with more and more OW carriers joining, situation won't get any better.

Agreed. The problem isn't just CX elites, but OW elites. They all but forsaken their own lounges at HKIA and all of them uses CX lounges. It's time CX seriously enforces OW-allowed "capacity control" to ensure quality lounge experiences for their own CX elites.
