Stationair 8, reckon you are close, but would offer a few adjustments,
i think QF Group a keen to reduce number of differing types,

A380 for QF

787/9/10 for QF/JQ,and 787 to eventually replace A330 fleet,

A320/321 NEO for Both QF/JQ

E190 for COBHAM/QF Link

Dash 8 400 for QF Link

This would be a very efficient fleet for an Airline the size of the Qantas Group.

Only issue with the eventual retirement of the 747, is what will they use for Sydney Santiago and Sydney Johannesburg?

Will CASA give an Australian registered 787 sufficient ETOPS approval to operate those sectors efficiently?
If not, they will need a few more A380s.............by then assume 380 NEO is around,a 380 NEO would certainly be a help on Dallas run?
