With regard to me end-August scheduled stay with DSU, I sent a note two days ago to the Diamond Desk asking them to clarify when construction will end (so far no response).
Is there anything else I should ask about?

That's almost a standard letter with this property. If you get what you booked your doing fine. Good luck and enjoy

In addition, the Diamond Head escalators (that you would take from the Valet Parking area to get to the lobby) are now blocked off entirely. And by blocked off, the DH escalator entrance is completely walled off by dry wall and guests will either have to:
a. Take the middle stairs from the 1st floor up to the 2nd floor/lobby
b. Or walk all the way to the Ewa/opposite side to the escalators or elevator up to the second floor.
b. Or walk all the way to the Ewa/opposite side to the escalators or elevator up to the second floor.

We go to Waikiki every year so hoping that bumps us up on the upgrade list.
We aren't in the room much but hoping we get a good view

Same group owns the Four Seasons Sydney, Four Seasons Seoul, Fairmont Royal Orchid and Fairmont San Francisco.
Based on the types of properties it acquires, I view this as a positive development, at least in terms of where they likely want to position the property.

So I think and sincerely hope is that the level of service will be brought back if not to at least close to when it was owned by a Japanese businessman. First thing should be the attitude of the "back office" front desk people are great.
