I have 5 days booked at the W then 2 at the StR - all in a row. Does anyone know if it possible to take the seaplane out of the W in the morning and catch the next one over to the StR in the same day?

Should be no problem at all. Just let both hotels know of the specifics of the plans, they will coordinate the timings.

Can anyone comment on benefits that have been offered to us lowly Golds? I know the breakfast benefit is huge and I'm trying to squeeze in a few more nights prior to this trip to hit Plat, but it will be very much down to the wire and even if I hit it, the qualifying stays will probably not post until after arrival so upgrade isn't likely (plus recent reports seem to indicate occupancy is higher than ever).

To finish off regarding dining, the butler brought afternoon tea to our room every day unless we had the do not disturb light turned on. Afternoon tea consists of fresh fruits, sweets, and a couple of beverages (ice tea, coconut water, etc.)

See my review in post #1603 above, immediately above the section "miscellaneous" there is a picture of what we got for afternoon tea. It varied every day and yes it was served in the room. I re-confirm that it was free.

Do you think there is any relationship between the room category and the experience level of the butlers? More experienced ones being assigned to higher category rooms?

Good question, to be honest I do not know but if I was the hotel manager I would certainly do what you suggest. I will ask next time we stay at the hotel.
