On most HGW SOCs today the choice between HW offload on/off is 200 
megabit/s unidirectional with large packets, or very close to wirespeed.

Anyhow, my statement is that of the users today on the Internet, their 
congestion point will not have FQ enabled, and this for 99% of users. I 
don't see any trend that this is on the verge of drastically increasing 
either.

The trend I am seeing is that delay control is being deployed by means of 
RED, buffer size caps (basically implementing adaptive buffers to only 
provide 10ms buffering until tail drop), PIE/CODEL or similar.

I'd be happy to be proven wrong.
