Logic suggests they will be used when the need arises, i.e. the special set ups at the cobbles. If you have a stage/race with long descents then stick them on, you have a flat stage ending in a sprint? Why bother? Would they help in a race like Paris-Roubaix, where you want to tackles rough sections at full pelt? I don't see it, like suspension hydraulic disc brakes bring limited advantages and a whole load of complications. I think integration will be slow, and not total. A party trick like suspension or Osymmetric rings occasionally used.
