Experience with Delta and Venture X?

Hey everyone, I’m currently deep in the Amex ecosystem but am short of getting a platinum card. I’m considering getting the Venture X instead but I wouldn’t be able to get lounge/direct transfer benefits. I also fly out of ATL /Delta Gold.

Has anyone made this work or is this a big deal at all? I LOVE the capital one offering but am not sure I’m completely thinking through not getting a platinum.
