Landing cards are going altogether as soon as the relevant minister signs off on it - current uncertainty is probably holding up that one, but it shouldn't be long now. UK Arrivals don't have the staff or infrastructure other than to funnel EEA+CH via the e-gates, so that won't change. Some trusted countries will be added to the list of e-gate users gradually, starting with USA, Japan and most Commonwealth Realms - I doubt that can all happen this year however, there's a lot more work needed on interfaces. In mainland Europe if there is a Deal then no change there for at least 2 years and probably a lot longer. Looking at most countries' No Deal planning it mainly hinges on reciprocity, so that suggests relatively few changes other than that Schengen countries will have to ensure the rolling 90 days are tracked by the computer (so may add a few seconds to processing time per passenger).
