Mixed cabin award on QR

[Formal Hall]

Trying to book SYD-DOH in F and DOH-CDG in J with a 3 hour layover in DOH - availability for 2 pax showing up in both legs. Velocity website says I will be charged per segment for a mixed cabin award, but call centre said QR is not allowing mixed cabin transits on a single ticket, can only book it with a stopover. Agent said even if they booked it via phone, QR would cancel it.

I assume this was married segment logic, but QR is happy to sell it to to me using Avios (and with far lower carrier surcharges).

Keen to burn my Velocity points, so any issues if I book 1 pax using Avios on QR site, and the other on separate SYD-DOH F, DOH-CDG tickets via Velocity? With a 50kg F luggage allowance, I can check all the luggage on the single ticket and in the event on a misconnect I imagine QR will rebook both pax as they are obliged to rebook the single ticket and it is a QR-QR connection.

Anyone have experience doing something similar?

I have been looking at QR Mixed cabin awards on AA. You can certainly get them easily. On top of that the mixed cabin award, J & F, has less taxes than an all J award.
