Upgrade how? Do you mean using miles/points?
All frequent flyer programs have different rules relating to upgrading, and generally you can only upgrade on their own flights anyway so your question is rather pointless.
Through BAEC as you state you can only upgrade one class.
However through the Qantas FF program you can request an upgrade from Qantas economy to business.
So again, the reason for your question is rather flawed. If you had only Emirates miles you can't upgrade flights on other carriers anyway regardless of the number of cabin classes..

I'm simply asking about airlines where it might be technically possible to go from eco to bus based on the (possibly flawed) assumption that you can only go up one class as per my experience with BA.
TBH, asked and answered at this point, I'll examine more than just 1 or 2 airlines next time I'm booking to see what's possible at the time.

I don't think my question is rather pointless, that's kinda rude of you. You seemed to have jumped to a conclusion where I'm trying to upgrade on Qantas using Emirates miles/points, which I don't know how you got there.

I just mean that knowing all the airlines X that only offer 3 cabin classes (or even 2) isn't much use if the reason for asking is to be able to upgrade with miles/points from airline Y and Z if they don't allow you to upgrade flights on X. It seems like you're trying to approach this the wrong way around.
You are best off understanding the program rules that you have miles/points/avios with or can transfer to. Some will allow you to upgrade from economy to business even if there is a premium economy cabin.
Also many airlines only offer 2 class (economy/business without a first class), then some have 3 class but economy/premium economy/business.

I don't think there's many anymore that are F/J/E...most of those planes are either J/E+/E or F/J/E+/E since E+ doesn't really require a cabin divider per se but they can squeeze some more money out of it.

What airlines offer true premium economy and don't use a cabin divider?
