If this last patch is 0.212, does this mean there are 7-8 more updates to come before 1.0 and that could still take years?

Let's play into your concerns with stating this:

Yes, it could very well take years. If the game in its current progressive development is not to your liking and you only wish to buy it once it has had a full release, then just check back in a couple of years or periodically to see things then. Patience is a user end issue after all.

In the mean time, there are plenty of folks that do not feel the progressive development is a barrier to their playing and enjoying the game. Perhaps then you can ease into a more flexible way of thinking about the game and enjoy as they do. However, that's something entirely up to you.
