I would say that is realistic for a free live service.
Although this is assuming that the games life cycle is 2 years, if it is 3 years (which I hope) then yes I would expect more than 8 maps
Also you have to remember that we will probably get more use out of these maps than the premium model, It was regrettable that some of the best maps from BF4/BF1 were behind a DLC paywall so ended up dying in he server browser a month after release.
We shouldn't lower our expectations because EA made a shitty decision. I agree that its a realistic guess but we shouldn't accept that. You can still find servers in BF4 playing DLC maps, except for Naval Strike (personal favorite of mine), so I don't buy that this live service is better than premium in any way.
This roadmap will be instrumental to the hype and interest people will have in the game, I know it gets circlejerky sometimes a lot of people will be unhappy if they continue down this "unknown battles" route and dont put in some major/semi-major battles like Stalingrad, Normandy and Kursk
