I see that this is creaking into existence once more (it's only been
postponed three times already). Will trains from the GN lines continue
to terminate at Kings Cross, until the Thameslink works are complete, or
will some of them start going through?

The map on the National Express Group website shows the GN and existing
Thameslink routes as continuing to be self-contained, albeit coming
tantalisingly close at KX and Moorgate:

Until new stock is ordered they are unlikely to start running through. The
Class 365s, currently used by WAGN, do not have end-doors for use in
emergencies (like the 319s do), which is a requirement for the tunnel
sections. Thameslink have been making noises about replacement stock for the
franchise which would, presumably, occur when the GN lines are absorbed.
