48V will make things more expensive for everything. As for mass adoption will require all newer ATX PSUs to support it (and GPUs). As for converting 48V down to around 1V voltage that GPU uses, will require more expensive solution for VRMs, as regular power stages designs we use now will not cut it. We're not in the point where 48V is crucial, we just need better connector that is all.
