Just got merged today, playing with it in betalabs. The migration will not be instantaneous though because not every wiki is using CirrusSearch yet which is a prerequisite.

And is that migration complete ?

I'm saying there is use cases for both.
I would expect a site wide nearby feature to help me discover new places nearby that I should visit (Wikivoyage even has a 'Go next' section which does this)
When I'm in a place, on the page itself I would like to be able to see map that helps me explore a city and find places to eat.

I imagine that if someone's in London they're much more likely to be interested in finding a place to see or to eat at rather than to
find a
next city for their trip. Unless all their touristic goals consist of putting check marks near city names in a looong list:)

I'm not sure we'd want to bring in secondary points - I can imagine the real use of Special:Nearby on Wikivoyage is for travellers who
are
looking for places to go to next that are nearby e.g. by train/bus. Somewhere like London would report Cambridge, Stonehenge or Oxford
as
being nearby even though they are 60+ miles apart.. yet currently it only shows 8 districts in London.
I imagine something like the in article Nearby pages that we currently have in beta would be a better vehicle for secondary points...
Is there anyway we can guide a volunteer developer to do this and is anyone interested? I'd love to see this moved along and give WV the nearby it deserves.
