The issues with the current disc brakes for road may not be issues IMHO:
1. disc brakes are pretty much all standardized on flat-mount front 160mm rear 140mm setups, so I wouldn't too concerned about the standard
2. hub spacing of 100mm front 142mm rear thru-axle is pretty common, and I think most will adopt to that. Again, i wouldn't be too concerned that
On top of that, disc brakes allows you to get light weight carbon aero wheels without having to worry about the brake track issue. In a sense, you can invest in wheels for a longer term
I think hydraulic disc is definitely a game changer, and will only get better. I will only be matter of time before it's available on eTap shifters.
