Absolutely - there's always a risk of a late change. A 787 isn't bad (fingers are crossed that it's not subbed for a 77W or A330) but I've flown them before and so it's no longer a novelty.
On a side note, I'm really annoyed that QR are opening up A350 routes (ie ADL) when they're unable to guarantee (or close to) the new aircraft on their current A350 routes.
