Apple may release a new series of iPad soon in future. It may affect the prices for lower-tier devices or they may get discontinued.
I am planning to give an iPad 9.7 (2018) as a Christmas present. In case the product line should change soon, would it be viable to buy one of those quickly before they disappear from the stores? Will the battery be fine if the iPad remains in its un-opened original packaging for 2-3 more months?

You should be fine.
The general advise from Apple when keeping an iPad device in long term storage without being used is:
- Charge your iPad battery to about 50 percent.
- Turn your iPad off to avoid additional battery use.
New iPads come packaged in this state. You should be fine keeping the packaging close for 2-3 months.
Even if the product is discontinued by Apple, it won't vanish overnight from store(s) and it should be easy to buy one. You may also find discounted pricing from 3rd party sellers. So, general advise is to hold on till any announcement is made.
I'd advise to wait till the time you wish to give the present (or delay the purchase as much as you can) to make the best decision regarding model to pick and pricing. It's likely you may end up picking a better option (newer model with upgraded specs, same model with more internal storage) for similar price.
Keep watching for any release announcements from Apple. If you wish to receive an email instead, subscribe to the Apple product announcement newsletters as outlined here.

Yes, it will be fine. But also, there’s no way that Apple are going to discontinue a product that was only released six months ago, unless with a like-for-like replacement that’s slightly improved at a similar price. The iPhone SE was 2½ years old when discontinued; it’s not comparable.
