Plus a significant impact of Concorde was the (very turbulent) flow from the reheat; from memory it's not really dissimilar to many modern military aircraft with reheat today.
They'll get a fair gain from just not having reheat, yet alone the rest of the benefit of decades of aerodynamic design around engine exhaust flows.
