They will probably keep enough to satisfy pre-orders. I would go for it in advance if I were you.
I would if I had the money.

ლ(΄◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)I doubt there will be any kind of shortage of physical copies where I live, but I could see it being sold out in major cities maybe. It's not really a big issue because of the eShop, though.
I pre-ordered my copy on the Gamestop site and chose in-store pick up so I'm set unless the store I chose screws up... but if that happens I'll just download it. I'd much rather have a physical copy though so I can touch it all the time forever. ლ(΄◉◞౪◟◉‵ლ)

It's not like you can't get the game back.
The save data saves to your SD card, and if your 3DS breaks you can redownload the game when you get it repaired/replaced.
The whole skepticism against downloading is a little silly, IMO.
Not when you consider everything as a whole. Google it, there are planty of reasons that gamers aren't downloading from Nintendo until they sort themselves out. Plus the repair price they want over here could actually buy you a nice little secondhand console, it's extortionate!!
But certainly over here there won't be any stock problems, it isn't that popular and plenty of stock for each game is available in each physical retailer. I preordered to get it early and because it was cheaper to do this than buy it in a shop
What? Since when?
EDIT: I mean, yeah, you can redownload from your current 3DS if you delete it but your Club Nintendo account doesn't give you any redownloading rights. If you break or lose your 3DS and can't do a system transfer, there is no way to redownload without contacting Nintendo support and figuring it out with them.

There isn't anything to look up. The chances that someone is going to break their console are less than the chances that they would lose their game cartridge. People are so caught up in "what if" that it blinds them into thinking one option is superior to the other.
The repair prices are pretty high, but if you've broken your console to the point of not being able to play it, then they're essentially just giving you a new console anyway. And to get your game back you just need to contact them about it when you plan on sending it in for repairs.
The only thing Nintendo doesn't have sorted out is linking purchases to accounts. Which I doubt they will ever do.
Demonizing Nintendo shouldn't be used to misinform people about downloading games, either.
