That would definitely be the best future proof design.

And thankfully this is what verizon did when it rewired our
neighborhood. Instead of just pulling fiberopitc cables through the
neighborhood (underground) they put pulled plastic tubes and have
concentrator boxes at about every other house. This way when the
technology changes they can replace the cabling without having to dig
up the yards again.
