Looking on the App, it lists my “preferred seat” as 8A. The “preferred” terminology scares me a little and made me recall that in at least one AY J trip report, I saw that someone had been bumped out of there AY J selected seat at check in.

How often do these seat selections change at check in? Is it status driven? Or am I reading too much into the wording?
No worries, Ay doesn't value their elites that much that changes prebooked seats. I would say your safe with your booking, unless Finnair company official or crew member steal your place or superb IT department messes it up🤭

have fun, i would be happy to change cramped A350 seat to throneseat 8A in 330.
