I doubt the inaugural route will switch because a) this aircraft isn't really a 'new' one, just a variant of an existing one in the fleet b) the A350-900 was on this same route because of it's historical significance as CX's first ever commercial route c) it's a quick turnaround and is good as an equipment familiarization route
At most the date will be pushed back due to delivery or operations and most likely the 351 aircraft will not last as a regular on this route beyond the first week or two.
