I see no use for a 300 BO, and neither for every new flavor of the month, however I do see a use for something with a bit of range punch, that's already being supported, and can replace the 308 range when I need something smaller, more portable, in any situation that an 11.5 SBR in 5.56 just won't do.

And not interested in 6.5 Grendel. Both David Fortier's trolling and toxic personal attacks against 308 users as well as LRRP from arfcom and his crusade to be a missionary that was relentless in being an influencer, has made Grendel obnoxious enough to never want out of spite and because I do not want them to ever think that they've won, even in private and unknown to them.
Are Fortier and user LRRP still around? I haven't seen anything from either of those people in years.

If you want something "turn key" then the ARC is probably your best bet. It is almost main stream and I assume Federal, Winchester, Remington etc will intro ammo fairly soon.

Hornady is doing well and riding the success of the Creedmoor cartridges presently. But all this stuff is also essentially the Wild West. 6.8 SPC and Grendel fought it out to be the next best thing. I don't know if either really met the hype and neither are necessarily main stream now. If I was super concerned about future availability I'd probably give the ARC another year to see if these ammo companies are going to get on board.

Black Hills is making ammo BTW.
