However not all streamers will benefit - only those dabbling in live content which is a small subset of them. Even then, how many will want to put up any money for investment in this unknown technology is questionable (e.g. they could sit back and wait for someone else to do it).

Will it ever make it out the lab into the real world, much like DVB-C2?

The fact it will require a lot of collaboration and has a reasonable mid-long term deployment date (2022) would leave me very concerned about it's viability. Especially when it was essentially the BBC Research Department giving the BBC a defensive line to criticism it was receiving at the time.
