Tumblr is being reworked to have a Wordpress backend right now, and Wordpress already has well working ActivityPub support, so yes, Tumblr will very likely happen once they made the switch.
I suspect the technical debt in Tumblr was larger than expected when the first announce federation support, and now it became nearly a full rewrite, which takes time.
Tumblr also downsized to 25 employees (including T&S). I don't expect anything groudbreaking from them soon.
Got it, very interesting! I look forward to it being worked out soon, Wordpress federation is awesome.
