I am doing this right now. A starlink CPE is a fairly ordinary DIA link that exists in cgnat space from the perspective of whatever router you plug into it. The starlink indoor 'router' is optional.

Whatever you plug into the high power PoE injector will be given a DHCP lease and a default route out to the world. People who don't want to DIY a dual-WAN solution with their own Linux box or pfsense or similar can use things like peplink routers.

In difficult to reach places in the world I can see starlink with a low-bandwidth traditional VSAT link as backup/failover as a fairly common configuration. Or starlink as primary and local HSPA+/HSDPA/LTE (whatever 3GPP related) as a failover.

I wouldn't be the least bit surprised if anyone out there was trying to mix their StarLink kit and existing broadband service to optimize performance and/or add redundancy though.

The underlying technologies will change, but what people try to do with them will remain relatively unchanged. 

Back 20 years ago people were talking about their Frame Relay P2P services, now they talk about their Ethernet P2P services.

I think the best way to think about what 10 years from now will look like is to compare 10 years ago to the present: https://mailman.nanog.org/pipermail/nanog/2011-April/thread.html

Multi-homing your DSL connection?
I can't wait to multi-home my 10x10 array of StarLink satellites in a few years...
