From LISA, last I heard funding is still there and construction is under way...
It is expected to be accurate enough to detect most expected events. Now if Neutron
star mergers can be frequent enough, then maybe one or both devices can detect
such a wave. What is so much guesswork is we don't know if there are such
retardation effects on wave propagation to the fabric of space. No data to measure.
