I think Capaldi should of stayed on for just one more season to be honest. I know that Capaldi isn't everyone's cup of tea when it comes to a Doctor, but it would of been nice just to see how Capaldi and Chibnall could of worked together. Especially with whatever writers Chibnall puts in place for his new take on Who. The one thing that will be a make or break for me will be ?who? Chibnall gets to write the new Who stories. I certainly hope we can stop the revolving door of writers in the Moffat era coming back again and again. There's no doubt that the BBC executives want a return to the golden days of the Tennant and Russell T. Davies era. A younger doctor is surely on the cards, but the American market now takes precedence over how Doctor Who is viewed by those that control the money side of things at the BBC. If Class does well when it's shown on BBC America, then I would imagine the BBC will think much differently about how they can increase it's longevity with a possible American actor in the role. If that happens I'll never watch Doctor Who again. And that goes for a lot people who prefer the show to remain British.
