So check-in is open and I am playing the seat selection game. Flight is 12 hours out and there are open seats scattered all over the plane. Would the most solid strategy be to aim for the very back of the economy section in hopes of more open seating upon take off? Any negatives with sitting in rows 81+ besides later meal service? I ordered a special meal, so it's not a big deal either way.

There is no solid strategy. Pick a seat and see how it goes. QF will scatter the allocated seats for load balancing, so you cannot expect one region of the plane to stay more open than another.
