Til Stormblood the EU-DC only had 8 servers aswell and queuetimes werent horrible. Unless you're playing at really weird hours (in which case you should probably consider if a japanese or EU server might fit your time-schedulde better in general) you shouldnt be to worried.
8 servers are still quite a lot of people - assuming that the roughly 250k active characters on the NA-servers are spread out evenly about all 3 DCs that still means that you have about 83k people to play with.
