Multiboxing
Will anyone be partaking in this style of play?

I'm sure some will if it's allowed. I know I won't be.
a long time ago in a WoW far far away, I rand 5 toons, 4 paladins and either a shaman or warlock, I used an app that allowed me to send keys (via IP address) to each "machine" (all game instances on 2 different PCs) then I scripted what each key did on each machine, so I could hit 1 key and have it perform different things on each toon. Including a button to reorganize and make them all group back up.
It was fun, but a lot more work than I think it was worth. I leveled all the toons from 1 to about 55 that way, was very OP, and I think is the main reason I quit playing WoW. I had more fun learning the program and coding how to do the things I needed, than I had actually using it.
Guess time will tell.
Oh and to answer the question! I personally won't be multiboxing, but I will keep an eye out for you guys!
Botting kills games, multiboxing always leads to botting
That said, if they go with something that requires your character to be logged in and on site for your freehold in order to perform certain actions that are AFKable, then expect more people to have multiple accounts so they can still play while their other account performs that "AFK" action.
I believe one of the Q&As around the 19th made a comment in regards to this type of situation, the AFK actions on freeholds requiring you to be logged in, not the multibox or botting! I also recall hearing something about NPC workers on your freehold, so will have to wait and see about this one.
Professional farmers, hackers, and script kiddies will of course develop cheat programs to do that but that will be a far smaller number of folks and the developers anti-cheat features should more easily recognize 3rd party clients running alongside the game client.

I am not against multiboxing, as long as it is 100% human-controlled. Multiboxers should not to be confused with botters. If a multiboxer uses anything that automates his/her play (which is not within the game functions) then this individual is a botter and should be banned.
Again, I can see why people dislike multiboxers, whether they ruin your RP experience, your immersion, or simply being too powerful in combat. I just wanted to add my brick to the wall and defend what is not botting.
