Having the reserve card increases your upgrade list position - but you’ll have to spend $30K to get the 15K MQMs. To me those MQMs make more of a difference for maintaining status then for getting to million miler. 
I mean, every MQM helps, but that limit on 15K a year isn’t going to accelerate progress as much as you’d like. You do get Sky Club access, so that will be useful if you’re not flying international business class. 
Million Miler is not something worth planning for. If you travel enough, you will get there with or without Delta Reserve.
Million mile status is only based on actual flown miles. It is not based on MQMs or any credit card bonus. An example: ATL to DFW earns me roughly 3k Skymiles (depending on price of ticket), 1K MQMs, and only 700ish miles towards million mile status.
echoing that it is based on MQMs. I hit it last year, and it definitely refers to MQMs, not miles flown.
What firm OP?
Plenty of decent credit cards out there worth using for travel purposes. Delta Reserve isn’t even top 10.
