Well Paddon said it himself when asked to rate his season from 0 to 10 he gave it - points.

Also this article even paints more positive picture than reality:
- in Sardinia he crashed twice, with second one on last stage before Power Stage especially unnecessary
- in Poland he finished second only because all the drivers that were ahead either crashed out or had issues (Tanak, Latvala, Ogier)
- similar in Australia being slowest of the Hyundais all rally except 1 stage

The team (or some people in it) might like him as much as they want but in the end it's down to results if they don't come by the end of 2018 there might be some new candidates. But for 2018 I'd say he is safe to do those 7? rallies he now got promised.
