I have an 8 speed, and it definitely does not hunt for gears.

Do you tow heavy with it?

Shouldn't matter if they get the software right. We already have tow haul modes that adjust for heavy towing. Transmissions hunt because they can't find a gear that is the right ratio for the particular condition, so they go back and forth between two, neither of which are suitable for the speed and power required. More gears just gives a better chance of having that right ratio and should result in less hunting.
