Even if AV1 was done today, there'd be years of runway for broad availability of hardware decoders, and performant, well tuned encoders.
I think we'll all be living with HEVC for several years, at least!

We're not even living with HEVC now. It's scarcely used. Websites use VP9 or AVC, home media is encoded in AVC.
I only came in contact with HEVC files via samples and files encoded for filesharing (and it's scarce even here).
