I am looking to overhaul my home network. Patiently waiting for the MA2500D.
In the mean time, I am looking to purchase a modem. My current comcast router/modem combo supports MoCA, but I am looking to buy all new gear. Currently looking at Arris Surfboard SB8200, will I have any issues with it?
I will probably have future questions about setup, but I currently have a MoCA filter going into a two-way splitter. Off of the two way splitter is 2 3-way splitters with each run going to a room in the house. I will eventually draw up a picture for better insight.
SB8200 has upper frequency 1218MHz. It will have interference with MoCA.
We prefer you to use a Cable Modem with 1002MHz.

Check the 'DS Freq Range' column.
I have an Arris sb6183. It has been solid for a couple years. The sb8200 is a good modem. It has Docsis 3.1, but many ISP’s don’t support it. The Arris s33 is interesting, but I have read about some issues with overheating. I always have a fan on my modem to keep it cool. I would do the same with the sb8200. Just stay away from the sb6190. It has a chipset with latency issues.
