We received a May 11th interview date for the K-3 visa. Since we are nearly complete with the CR-1 visa we will pursue it. We are hoping that the embassy will allow the scheduled interview to be used for the CR-1 rather than the K-3. Is there anyone with recent experience with this?

bottom line is some consulate might, others will not... ask your consulate what they do

Our try to flip in India failed. However, others going through the same consulate succeeded. So, this seems yet another random things that would be dependent on your luck. Technically, the consulate has to give you the CR1 or IR1 visa over K3 if both cases are present at the consulate at the time of the interview and you request them to do so.
