I actually think that the 27" 5K display in the iMac Pro is going to age quicker than the internal components. I suspect that ~32" 8K displays will be mainstream in a year or two.

8K would require new HDMI cables and ports, would it not? I'm pretty sure that many people are still stuck with legacy hardware in this regard.

Current 8k displays use 2x DP connections just like early 4k displays.
