I will be travelling from MEL soon and will be accompanied by my non-status parents travelling on a separate booking. Would it typically be okay to bring the two of them along with me in the priority check-in line and boarding, even if we're on separate bookings?

Not sure about Malaysian but I used to do it all the time for Qantas when I was travelling with non status work colleagues

As stated above , I did that earlier on VA but not sure about how it works at Malaysian Airlines.

I don't think it will be an issue. It would be better for you to front the queue, handover passport/documents and tell the agent that you are travelling as a group, but your parents are on a different PNR. Best case - no one says anything. Worst case - you can always say that your parents need your help to check-in or something to that effect. No one is going to question that logic, you know!?
 
Not likely to be a problem, done the same on several airlines without issue but not this one.

You do the handing over of docs and all good I'd think.

I did this on MH in KUL a few weeks ago and there were no issues.
