Yes, at this last rate dues will double in 7-8 years.
I'm not sure why everyone seems so worried that the 10% increase is the "new norm". There's a perfectly good explanation for the increase (The minimum wage bases raising from $10 to $13 in 2019.) and it's essentially a one-time thing - at least at that size.
I also don't get the lack of trust that seems to be spinning around. DVC is required by law to provide statements and balances - everyone can go and look at exactly what the expenses are every year - and exactly what the income is. Disney does not make a profit on DVC annual fees - they are legally obligated not to. You can also look at historical increases. Some years they are larger, other years they are smaller.
AKV for instance went up only 2.66% in 2017. Beach Club went up 2.35%. Other went up by 5-7% is true, but it varies from year to year.
