. Do I understand you correctly that I'm paying for an SC Platform and SC Datafeed, but that SC can't connect to the exchange, rather it needs me to also have a connection (CQG, Rithmic, whatever)?
You just need to connect once a month to your trading service to make the CME happy to be able to use the CME data. Refer to:
Sierra Chart Exchange Data Feed: Connecting Only Once a Month to Trading Account to Support CME Group Exchange Fees

It does not work for live trading, though the setup instructions implied that it would.
Clearly it is not possible to use a data feed only service for live trading. What the instructions say is that you need a funded account to take advantage of the lower-priced CME exchange fees. This is all.

But if you have a second CQG connection, you can certainly use that for trading. And if you want to record data in different Intraday Data Storage Time Units, you just need to use another instance of Sierra Chart for that which can use the same connection:
