Given the major rewrite I wouldn’t be surprised if it around 18 months or so given the testing and tweaking even as it reaches alpha and beta states. This is a simple OS compatibility update. It’s a ground up rewrite.
Then there’s issues like support for backward compatibility for import of older Freeway documents and previous operating systems. Throughout the process, what can/will be supported may change depending on time and resources.
Keep in mind that Fretspace is a sign he/they may be doing other work which is a factor. To me, it’s an important sign they’re going to try to maintain financial solvency.
Developers tend not to like talking about target release dates publicly until they’re very near because they can be a bit rubbery.
Look at a company like Affinity/Serif and how long it’s taken from the first acknowledgment they were developing Publish to a more public target. And they’re first now at a point where they’ve show a sneak peek and they’re still aways away from a public beta.
