Right now there will only be two stops in SF and the ride is supposed to be 84 minutes. Two other stops are in the works and there is another proposed, as well as all the pueblos also want one. These stops are convenient, but they also will add a lot of time to the commute. A 2hour+ commute will definitely turn some people off. Also, the proposed time schedule is not convenient for a lot of people.
I wouldn't worry too much about the Pueblos getting rail stops.
Just because you have a rail stop doesn't mean the train stops there every time, or even most times. The downtown Bernalillo stop, for instance, gets skipped over half of all train trips.
Isleta Pueblo is supposed to get their stop opened about the same time as Santa Fe. I would expect to see similar performance to the downtown Bernalillo stop, though it may be more frequent, as plenty of people currently commuting from Bosque Farms may take advantage of it.
Sandia Pueblo probably won't get theirs anytime soon either.
Is Santa Fe expecting an influx of tourists and folks from ABQ riding up on the rail-runner? What about commuting? Will more people likely ride from SF to ABQ or from south to north?
