I mean, the cosmic de might be couple months or years away… will system76 wait until cosmic de is ready to release Pop 24.04… or will they release Pop 24.04 with gnome Cosmic while working on the cosmic de ?

Unfortunately, there will not be a release of Pop 24.04 with GNOME before COSMIC is released. In fact, System76 has stopped development of Pop-shell as referenced here:

Once, Pop 24.04 is released, you will be able to install gnome-session to get GNOME, but it will be the version from Ubuntu and not Pop-shell (though you can install the unsupported extension yourself).
Basically, the development of COSMIC is delaying the release of Pop 24.04… which means the whole distro update probably won’t come until 2025 as the desktop matures.
For this reason, among others, I’ve decided to switch to Ubuntu until COSMIC matures and Pop 24.04 is released.
