So in 5-10 years time there might be 14 8-drivered steam locomotives in operation in the US/Canada: 

Currently operable (7):
- NKP 765 2-8-4
- PM 1225 2-8-4
- RDG T-1 2102 4-8-4
- SP 4449 4-8-4
- UP 844 4-8-4
- N&W 611 4-8-4
- MLW 261 4-8-4

Under restoration (5):
- NC&StL 576 4-8-4
- RDG T-1 2100 4-8-4
- NYC 3001 4-8-2
- C&O 614 4-8-4
- C&O 2716 2-8-4
- CN 6060 4-8-2

Under construction (1):
- PRR T1 5550 4-4-4-4

Did I neglect to include any 2-8-4 / 4-8-2 / 4-8-4 / 4-4-4-4 steamers in or planned to be in operation?

Excellent catch! That makes the total at least 16 8-drivered standard gauge locomotives that could be simultaneously in operation a few years from now. Smaller 2-8-2s (eg Valley RR Chinese-built 3025) and 2-8-0s (eg WMSR 734) also could be added to the list.

SP&S 700 4-8-4.

A few more missing eight-drivered locomotives (if we're not getting hung up on size):

Southern 2-8-0 401 at Monticello, Illinois
2-8-0 1702 at the Great Smoky Mountains Railroad with 722 under restoration
​2-8-0 630 and 2-8-2 4501 at the Tennessee Valley Railroad
2-8-0 and 2-8-2 at the Valley Railroad in CT
2-8-0 97 at the New Hope & Ivyland
2-8-0 #4 under restoration for Durbin, WV
2-8-2 #16 at the East Broad Top with more to come
2-8-2 at Dollywood
2-8-2's at Durango and Chama
4-8-0 at Strasburg
Two 2-8-0's at the Nevada Northern
2-8-0 #27 at Duluth, MN
Soo Line 2-8-2 1003's operational status?

That's just going from memory off the top of my head.  I'm sure there are more out there.

Also, WMSR is looking to restore 2-8-0 #734 back to operation. 

Does this count?

NYC 3001 under restoration? Did I miss something?

Edit: Ok, you said "might be".

Have you forgotten ATSF 3751 and 2926?
