Okay let’s bring this back to point:
Let’s rank by the following:
Career advancement/opportunities
Family life (mid 40s)
Amenities (restaurants, shows, parks, etc)
Housing costs ($800k-$1m)
Ease of access for travel (push between Charlotte and Atl.)
Long term viability

Career advancement/opportunities
For me/my industry
It would be Charlotte

My take:
Career - Atlanta for most things
Family life - I think this is close and varies greatly by area, but perhaps Charlotte?
Amenities - Atlanta, but again, probably close. Atlanta is bigger and will have more of most things.
Housing - I'd assume Charlotte is the best bang for buck here? But 1m will get you well situated in any of the three. 800k-1m is about right to get into a decent sized (2000-3000) home in a nice (but not elite) neighborhood in town Atlanta. It'll buy you a quite nice home in one of the close in burbs (Vinings, Sandy Springs, etc.) and buy you a large home outside of that.
Travel - Atlanta IMO. Especially with you being a Delta loyalist.
Viability - Probably Atlanta. All are long term viable. Atlanta has the biggest near-term risk. Nashville probably with the biggest long-term risk.

Answers for Charlotte..
Okay let’s bring this back to point:
Let’s rank by the following:
Career advancement/opportunities - What’s your career?
Family life (mid 40s) - pretty good. Schools in the city are a crap shoot. private schools, $20k yr for most. Charlotte Schools (CMS) are a disaster most areas.
Amenities (restaurants, shows, parks, etc) - not bad, multiple music venues, get all the big acts, pro sports, ok restaurants, decent off broadway shows, large amusement park.
Housing costs ($800k-$1m) - You can get a decent house for that. Depending on your idea of decent. Just do a search on realtor for an idea.
Ease of access for travel (push between Charlotte and Atl.) - yeah
Long term viability - probably decent
Lived here 15 years. I like Charlotte, wife isn’t as fond. Lots of wealthy new money investment banker types. A pay grade I’ll never get to.
Can’t afford to live in a house that has all the things we’d like, in the areas we’d like. There’s a trade off.
Close to the mountains is big for me..
Close to the coast..not as big a + for me...Cant compare Carolinas Beaches to Gulf Beaches.
Good weekend getaways in Asheville and Charleston (if you can afford a hotel there).
