For regular TV users, would there be a perceivable difference between 4k and 8k?
There will be a perceivable difference between ideal 4k and ideal 8k if the display is large enough, the distance is small enough, your eyesight is good enough and the material is of a kind that contains sufficient minute details.

Is this enough to make 8k a valuable thing? I don't know. At the rate that display sizes are increasing, we might have wall-sized tellys in the not-to-distant future. As long as the missus won't move the couch, this means covering a large field of our view.

How long before the codecs are available and the bandwidth for 8k?  The TV manufacturers are not going to wait.  They have to sell product.
We can be confident that they will sell 4k equipment and services first, then (in 5-10 years) they will try to sell us 8k equipment and services (if they can practically make them).

Also, rental disks on BluRay would be superb.   
Yes, having a display of "very high" resolution means that you can be source limited when e.g. watching video.
