it is pretty bad when you think about it. Basically every A8 transmission used since 2015 in the Corvette, Camaro, CTS, ATS, Silverado, Sierra, Colorado, Canyon (what am I missing) has been reported to have wide spread issues with the torque converter. So again...no surprise here. I've been affected personally by the shudder and have had my fluid flushed, although it has never gotten as bad as some of the stories I've read here and I'm generally happy with my Camaro.
That said, for anyone that reads this thread that does not already know, GM has stated to dealers that there is going to be a new (and hopefully more permanent) FIX coming in Q1 2019!

Yea a class action was bound to happen on this and GM has been well aware of that for some while so they would be insane to just "leave all of the A8 buyers hung out to dry". The problem is we don't really know exactly what % of A8 cars have had the issue, yes there are reported cases of it across pretty much every model that has the A8 so it's safe to say that it's a pretty large # (I myself am suffering from it in my Colorado ZR2).
With that said I have it on good authority that the new fix that's incoming is a pretty radical one and that's why they have been holding off and taking their time to push it out, presumably they've been testing it extensively and want to finally get this shit taken car of since nothing they have tried so far has worked.
I for one am expecting this to potentially escalate from a TSB to a RECALL, but who knows I just hope that get it fixed. I love my ZR2 and really don't want to get caught up in a legal battle with GM, just fix the issue and let me get back to fully enjoying my truck.
