I am just wondering what the chances are of having an empty middle if I change to a 3 seat row with window and aisle? I know it's a gamble, but just wondering how big a gamble?

Has anyone flown in this new configuration and seen the back rows?

I know this is a few years old now, but any recent feedback on this? I have access to MCE seating on 787-8 for a CDG-ORD trip and I'm leaning toward booking the window/aisle combo and take my chances with an empty middle rather than the two-seats in very back.
