I'm really curious to see how they plan to deliver system updates. Arch always makes me think of highly customized systems with per-package updates. For a little handheld with limited battery life, relatively short uptime, and a straightforward use case (so only enthusiasts who are capable of jumping through hoops are going to care whether they can install some other system-level packages), that makes very little sense. So I'm really hoping SteamOS 3 uses ostree. I haven't seen examples of people doing that with Arch, but I imagine it's quite possible.

The could release the source to steam and let the community fix the issues with it (since they've struggled so much with this.) The problem is that one of the primary selling points to publishers is that it prevents you from running games you might have on your machine (DRM.) That is: The biggest feature of steam besides configuring Wine for you is that it doesn't work most of the time.
