This to understand if JST (or similar that rely on TripOS ReadArgs) will continue to work or will have to split code depending on the KS.

You really should not depend on the GV. This was never documented, and it was not documented for a reason. It's nice to know such historical artefacts, but that doesn't make software that depend on this valid and robust. The GV will go at some point, as all Os components that depended on it are gone. It did not go *right now*.
Note, however, that the GV and now it is used from 2.04 onwards is different from how it worked in 1.3 - there are some subtle differences.
If you want a good argument parser for 1.3: Look into "arp" - the amiga replacement project. Actually, this library was the basis for the v37 dos.library.
