If the problems on the Progress M-27M are traced back to a malfunctioning Blok-I, then we may see a delay in this launch.

There was a posting along these lines from Roscosmos (I think) on Facebook: not a specific date.

My understanding:
This the last film-return imaging reconnaissance mission for any nation?

Yes, this is the last one of this species.
US has one that was a flight spare. There is no plans to ever fly it. My father was photo chemist in the USAF and worked in film prepartation and loading processing chemical and developer for flight on both planes and SC through 1998

There are sources reporting that this launch will occur
TODAY at 15:24 UTC (!)..... (e.g.
http://tass.ru/kosmos/2021924)
....which is strange since as of May 29th the reports still points to a delay and nothing about this one was reported since the Progress accident final report came out (only news about the next Progress). Nothing about roll-out (which is standard per recent launches) either. Anyone knows if there are NOTAMs and sea region closure notices anywhere?

Well, things have changed since the geopolitical problems with the Ukraine, so I would expect more surprise announcements like this one for the future military launches. But lets just wait and see what happens.

Digits crossed that this launch is successful.
The chances are high that this will be the final launch of a film-return photoreconnaissance satellite since everyone is now using digital imaging satellites.

So I guess this is going! 15 minutes to launch.
Also, I suspect no webcast, am I right?
