Is this a valid and/or advisable itinerary?
JFK-ORD-PVG; overland PVG-PEK; PEK-BKK via HKG; BKK-HKG; HKG-AKL;AKL-SYD; SYD-ADL; ADL-BNE; BNE-PER; PER-JNB; JNB-CPT; CPT-DUR; DUR-JNB; overland JNB-DAR; DAR-LHR; LHR-DXB; DXB-MAD via LHR; MAD-MIA
Is this the maximum I can do on xONEx or have I exceeded some limits or missed something? I am not that much interested in gathering too many miles as a frequent flyer. My main interest is in making sure that I am getting value for the money especially since I will be going business class. Any chance of being able to add Phillipines, Fiji, or Seychelles?

Is it the maximum? No, it's only 19 segments, several of which are very short. If you're trying to maximize miles, there are several possible tweaks. But it depends on your aims for the trip.
(I assume you mean PVG, Shanghai, not PDG, Padang, Idaho. Also DAR for Dar es Salaam, not DSM, Des Moines, Iowa.)

I suppose if QF had announced that as a permanent change I would have remembered it. When is it due to revert, can't be much longer.....

I suggest you send that information by PM only
