Since it is a relatively new device that is among Samsung's flagship line, I would say yes. The true question is when. My guess would be a month or two after the 4.3 release.

Well damn, then I'm gonna want 4.3!!

well me too. But it seems that is the way Samsung works. I've had their devices since the galaxy s1, back in the olden days. It took a whole year, after the initial release date, for Samsung to let me have jelly bean 4.0 on my gs2.
But speaking on the Note 8.0 specifically, I guess the code has to be rewritten to accommodate for those physical buttons. You do glean a quarter inch of screen real estate though. So I do support the 'keep the buttons' theame. At least since you can tap them with the stylus now. But the, 'home'. button still needs that S-pen touch ability, then I can be happy.
