Who would these litigants actually be? The only ones I can reasonably foresee are those filing Takings Clause claims under 5A.

The property owners that you describe would not have standing to challenge the spending under the NEA. They would only have standing to challenge the taking of their own property and the price paid under eminent domain.

The extant litigants in question, as I recall, are several state governments, plus (I think) the house of representatives.

As I recall, all of those lawsuits were stayed, pending the appellate process in the Sierra Club case. those stays, in my opinion were foolishness, because anyone with half a brain would have recognized the standing issues which became problematic in the Sierra Club case.
