I thin there is a reason this will be done not far away from the expansion (also the 2 planned servers for EU).

I think Chaos had the most issues during the launch of Stormblood because of this and a result could be the most amount of quitting players during the launch, compared to US and JP. So the plan to split and add 2 servers on top could be a preparation to do it better for the launch of Shadowbringers.
