Recently travelled on SQ Y(last time I did was on the ill-fated 747 though I got off at TPE). Otherwise have always been on either budget airlines and other full-service airlines. I'm pleasantly surprised that SQ's seat is really more spacious (in terms of seat pitch).
While having a meal, when pax in front did a little bit of recline, it's still quite tolerable. But on CI, any bit of recline from the front and I can forget about having a meal or moving out to the washrooms.

The current first class cabin on Singapore Airlines' A380 superjumbos features private suites. The new seat designs can be retrofitted on to the A380s, the airline says.

They really need a business class product which optimizes the use of space in the aircraft. The space is prime estate.
They could go for this reverse herringbone design though it wouldn't make SQ look like an innovator or sorts. (My fantasy carrier uses the Cirrus seats) or SQ could go for the Staggered layout like Thai Airways/Etihad/Asiana QS/ANA, or follow JL's newest business class. It would fit the 350/77W.
The 1-2-1 config on the 77W are a bit of a waste of space. I think it is fine for the 380.

Current SQ longhaul J is a reverse herringbone in the bed position, and takes the appearance of a normal seat when upright. Is there any clear evidence that it occupies significantly more real estate than a CX Cirrus, or similar?

SQ can fit in 8 F and 42 J
while
CX can fit in 6 F and 52 J
Diamond Seat is taking up approximately 20% more space. That's quite significant. Cirrus Seat is superior to the Diamond seat and they can sell ten tickets more. Win-win.
