As pointed out by Paulos already, [ceteris paribus], we may get upto 6
years ahead......and I believe it is 2.7 /8s and not 1.7 as you
mentioned.

I would suggest we all have an eye on the following statistics provided by AFRINIC and come back by end of the year to determine if indeed the future would be as far as is being envisaged.

I am fine with this approach. I would add ARIN's policy implementation
to the list of things to watch

I wouldn't be too worried about the membership numbers themselves,
until they start to result into a corresponding increase in
allocation/assignments.
