It's a 80 min flight. I think it'll be okay, assuming it's not delayed.

Definitely should be ok just figured if it was a super easy way to connect that its a waste to take the later flight. Happy I asked.

FRA is massive. We had a LH flight ZRH-FRA and AC FRA-YYC. Our flight landed 25 minutes late. We taxied 10 minutes to a remote stand, and only had a 70 min connection (or so). If AC hadn't send a bus to take the 9 passengers who were connecting to their flight directly to the gate (well technically to the passport control nearest the gate including a dedicated line just for the 9 of us, regardless of our citizenship) we'd have missed the flight.

100% dont play it tight in FRA.. Not a smart move. 1:30 + is ideal

Around 1hr to get your bags and get out+ 1 1/2 drive without traffic+ checkin by AUH, seems very close and risky but perfect for you

If I book a BA (award) ticket out of LHR for 2.5 hrs after scheduled landing there on a Virgin Atlantic (operated by Delta) flight, can I hold Virgin/Delta responsible to get me to my end destination if they have a delay? (2 separate itineraries)

If booked as 1 ticket QR to QR, the minimum is 0:45.

No airline would allow you to book 1 itinerary that has flights that don't meet the legal minimum connection time.

Is 1 hour connecting in VIE from TLV to EWR in J enough?  MCT 25 minutes but seems tight - traveling with Zaidy.

1 hour should be fine in Vienna. You'll be on the move but should still make it without any issues.
