I'm around 110k KF miles short of a redemption I'd like to make next month (for travel Jan 2022).

Buying miles isn't economical, Velocity transfer remains suspended and I'm not sure I can get a credit card sign up bonus quick enough.

Before I abandon by SQ plans, am I missing any obvious options?

Received an email with the subject "Enhancements to the Krisflyer programme in 2021":
Sounds like an appropriate use of the term "enhancement"?

I saw the subject of that email and my first reaction was "uh oh, here comes a deval or similar with a positve spin on it" and then pleasantly surprised!
 
Look at it this way.

Qantas has zero international network, and your points are competing against 12M other Qantas members + 200M oneworld members.
Singapore Airlines has an extensive international network, and your miles are competing against 4M SQ members + Zero Star Alliance members (assuming F travel that is restricted to SQ members only).

Outside of Singapore, Krisflyer competes mostly against Asia Miles, which have been lowering redemptions year on year since non-hkg management took over. So long as these super-smart folks remain in control at Asia Miles.... SQ will continue to decrease redemption pricing to save face and remain highly competitive.
Very well put --- relative to others on here, I'm still relatively new to 'the game', but I learnt the 'nice way' about SQ points when I managed to fly 6 of us in J at XMAS 2019 to Asia, utilising the free stop-over in SIN for some extra holiday time, and as well as the actual ability to 'find reward seats', the 'price component' of these rewards flights relative to QF for 6 people saved me a lot of $
