Worth buying just given that fetches are there, or wait for prices to settle?
I would assume fetches are going to stick are $15.
Also, does anybody know if fetches will be like RtR and taking the land slot?
Well either way, I've got 2 boxes pre ordered. I figured whatever I don't keep myself, I can pawn off at a local card shop or trade away. Plus, that will satisfy my love for opening tons of little packages.

It was only during Dragon's Maze that the Rare lands took the land spot in the booster.
Expect them to eat up rare slots in drafts all year long.

Sorry, I misread your question. For some reason I thought u said are all the land slots for the set filled lol.

Yes, even a box of a pretty lackluster set will generally be worth its costs initially at release, and the estimated value on a box of Khans is already looking much better than the average set.
Even setting aside the increased value of having valuable lands in the rare slots and whatever cards end up being constructed playable, there's going to be additional value in foils of many of the new wedge cards that folks will want for their EDH/commander decks.

I wouldn't say that buying a box probably won't make a profit unless you're lucky. But with the fetches its a decent set so far, in addition to some cool cards. I would probably compare it to a little better than RtR. But its hard to say since they only spoiled a handful of cards.
As for the land slots, I think theres around 10 lands that haven't been announced. That includes the fetches + tri colored lands.
