So 2½ years on from this internal advice, how far has this very simple process got, in the fleet?

I've never seen a Temu Shower Curtain once.
 
Shower curtain on yesterday’s flight from CNS-BNE. Think rego was VH-IJQ.

It was deployed during the flight though the crew advised that only one toilet was serviceable down the back, so they allowed some pax to come through during peak use.
 
So some seats will the remain without USB charging ports then?
No. In-seat power is being installed in all seats. On the "refurbished" economy seats, the USB ports are in between the seat pockets. On the ex Silk Air aircraft (excl. IJQ/IWQ), they're actually universal power ports under the seat near your feet.
