Yehuda said rails 3.0 will have "mountable apps" meaning you could mount your application inside insoshi or vice-versa.
If that statement is true I think the point will be, how much your application needs from insoshi. Then, using the tools we will have, try to achieve that, or create the tools for your app or insoshi if the tools provided by rails 3 aren't enough. I think there is still a long way until rails 3.0 is at least usable. Too early yet for technical discussions on that topic. But... I believe insoshi needs a better way of extending the default, core, app with customizations. Overriding insoshi functionality by just overriding insoshi code is not a very maintainable. If you want to keep updated with insoshi code you have to be continually merging and solving conflicts. What is worse is your own code and insoshi improvement are mixed up in a way that makes contributing back to insoshi core really hard. What we can start thinking is an API and way to extend insoshi without touching insoshi code directly. That API will be a huge help when we have mountable apps in rails 3.
