It must have been, as they don't even list the A8/S8 on their site. So, how long was the car out of action, since you had to send the cluster to them, and they then had to wait the part to come in?
The cluster I replaced three years ago doesn't suffer from pixelation, but has now developed the other issue of fading displays due to heat. However, I tend to have the temperature below 20 and have the sunroof on tilt for additional airflow.
