Hi,
Forget the power feed on the planner, just not the way to go and defeats the ability to flatten/square.
Planner table set up is usually the reason that you get poor results, assuming your blades are sharp!
Power feed on the spindle moulder is useful though, if you¡¯re processing large amounts or using large cutters.
Small work using euro cutters are fine by hand! Make a jig to straighten your first edge on the saw if the boards are very uneven and then process them in the normal way.
For the tongue and groove on thin stock, say about the 3/4¡± size you won¡¯t beat a two part router set like trend make. ?Quick set up and you can process the stock as fast as you like!
For security and to prevent kick back use good old fashioned feather boards keeping the stock pressed to the bed and fence, you can make them yourself and they really are remarkable!

Not a big deal , should be a fun project .
The feeder will be great for profiling on the shaper.?
On the jointer for thisw sort of work fine , for fine work ,,,door stile ?and rail , furniture parts a waste of time.?
Trim ends ,Straight edge first , than rip , face on jointer if you must and thickness , than profile.?

Presuming you have 4/4 stock I would be concerned that a power feeder on a jointer would flatten the rough board defeating the purpose of the jointer.? Once dimensioned I would use the power feeder to feed your material through the shaper to cut the tongue and grooves.
By the way, I do have a CF741S and a standalone Northfield 16" jointer and planer.? I bought the jointer used and it came with a Felder F38 power feeder.? In a little over a year of owning the jointer, I've used the power feeder just once.? I was milling some wide (10 - 15") 8/4 Cherry.? The Cherry was all about the same thickness so I could adjust the feeder more or less once.? In addition, the wide 8/4 material didn't flex much under the pressure of the feeder.
