Actually, for myself, if the series is one single story with no resolution until the end, yeah, I'd wait. I've been burned by cancelled TV series like that, which is one reason I greatly prefer episodic shows, and not big season or series long arcs. As a secondary background plot line, ok, but I want a story with a beginning, middle and end in each episode, or at least within a few (already produced) episodes.
But thankfully most book series are nothing like that at all. Harry Bosh solves the murder by the end of each book. Miles Vorkosigan completes whatever task is in front of him.
I won't be investing anything (time, emotion or money) in Vella. Thankfully it's not like they are replacing all ebooks with this format, forcing us into it.
