I don't really see the difference between 2.9 with a ton of scary changes (EC is a lot more NN stuff than a usual release) and a 3.0. What's the downside of getting a major version. It relaxes the compat a little bit. It would allow some bake time before it's stable.
Put another way. I'm upgrading our prod clusters to 2.7 now and 2.8 when it comes out. That's because those releases are normal dot releases. I would hold off a much longer time for a 2.9 with EC. That to me really signals that it's a different type of release and that should be messaged with a major version rev.
