I’m going to be ~$2-3k spending short of delta diamond, I’m good on miles. Aggressively look for ways to spend more or just let delta make me an offer to pay for status? Not willing to lose status.

Use the partners...I had a $2000 business class ticket on China Eastern net me about $7000 MQDs. When you look at the chart the percentages shown are in miles flown and not actual dollar amounts.
