DOCSIS 3.0 is fine for a while. It can and does deliver a gigabit.
The SH3 will only be short lived if retentions start handing out a 3.1 device whenever people phone up because they fancy one. If a 3.1 hub is used as it should be, just for when people purchase likely super-expensive tiers that rely on DOCSIS 3.1 else they won't work, the 3 will be good for years yet.
I would imagine it to be more like the move from the old modems to the VMNG300, especially given the cost of the kit initially. As prices go down and there's less difference between the SH3 and a future model it'd take over in a similar manner to how the SH became the standard kit.
Just FYI:

That's being delivered over 32 US DOCSIS 3 channels, equivalent to 24 EuroDOCSIS channels.
