Upgraded Boarding Availability

I've been a SW Visa Holder for 5 years and just realized I had the upgraded boarding feature.  What has been your experience for availability?  I have a few Saturday flights coming up and can't decide if I want to gamble for these being available for my family or pre purchase Early Bird.

Even pre-pandemic it was rare to see spots A1-A15 full so my guess is you're probably going to have availability.  I also suspect you're more likely to see those spots full during the week since they are marketed to the business traveler, not the Saturday leisure traveler.
