I can shed a little light on this. So yes, moving over to the cloud definitely helps streamline quite a bit overall! For this patch specifically, there are other technical pieces we are updating that are not player facing. Taking into consideration the combination of these updates, the fixes that were published in the patch notes, and testing everything before bringing servers back up, we landed on 4 hours as a safe window of time to allocate for this patch. 

And Star Forge and Satele Shan are not yet migrated over to the cloud, but we'll post more details about that soon!
