Ishgard Restoration shows how hungry players are for DoH content--but is this enough?

I would say that it's more the facts that there are massive exp and cosmetic rewards locked behind the turn ins, and that crafting is easier than ever right now (For good or ill, its indisputable). This initial surge of people will severely die down in less than a week, since the people that really want the stuff will burn through it in the first few days. It wasn't even noon and i have seen tons of people walking around in the glamours and such.

But do you think SE expected every server to finish the stockpile day one?

Probably not. In like almost everything, they probably aimed their expectations low, so that if was even middling to high, they would see it as an extreme success of the new content.
