Don’t know much about the 350, but the LR can do the crossing and still haul a ton of cargo. Occasionally get some bad headwinds on that route too versus a more polar route like dtw-pvg.
Apparently it is still not able to fly LAX-SYD without unreasonable payload restrictions even with the alternate thing sorted out.

Otherwise it might be doing it by now.
