Any chances that one day will we see the divine gifts from Milani? Of the gods and goddesses outside the core deities she is my favourite one
There's only room for the core 20, alas, and I doubt we'll have any opportunities to print more for the other gods and demigods before the edition change (although I hope we have a mechanic like this for divine gifts a lot sooner the next time around!)...
...but we do include advice on how to make new gifts of your own design, be they additional ones for the core 20, ones for other gods in the setting, or for divinities of your own creation.

I am still really holding out hope that Paizo discovers there’s enough of a fan base for PF1e to publish an occasional “Pathfinder Legacy” supplement for us 1st-edition diehards…

Something like "float like a butterfly, sting like a...?"

The gifts don't seem very balanced to me.
Pharasma's is a one time boon. Fairly cool for low level play but pretty meh at mid to high levels where death is really only a speed bump anyways.
Sarenraes, on the other hand, is the gift that keeps on giving. 3 breath of lifes and heals per day, maximized healing. Even at high levels this is very powerful.
Torags boosts to everybodies saves (lets face it, saves are MUCH more important than AC at all levels, especially high levels) seems about on par with Sarenrae's boon but it probably depends more on the group and campaign.
The fact that Pharasma's is
a) once only
b) happens automatically the FIRST time the character dies
makes it way, way, way less powerful than the other two

I'm pretty sure there's nothing in Sarenrae's description that says you get anything "per day." It's a one time invocation that lasts 24 hours. In that time you can use those spells 3 times each and gain the benefit of those maxed heals. The text above it says "they should only be handed out once per player per campaign."
Now you can still make the argument that's it's better than Phrasma's, but it's not an "I can do this everyday forever" thing otherwise no one would ever play a cleric of a different deity.

I mean, I ain't throwing my PDFs anywhere.

Oh, Pharasma, you look so... relaxed!
...
Also, her divine gift may not be as mechanically awesome as Sarenrae's, but it's WAY more cinematic-
Think the Saint of Killers getting nuked, standing completely unphased at the heart of the blast zone, spitting and saying "not enough gun."

Lamashtu's gift?
Perhaps it is being impregnated with a Spawn of Shub-Niggurath, which is born by bursting forth from its host in a gory explosion of flesh and bone.
Such an honor! Who wouldn't want to bear such a breathtaking colossus?

But, regarding edition changes, I see little reason not to adapt such content to PF2.0. All it will take is some minor shifts in math effects. Everything else ought to be fairly transparent.

Most boons are of the "use once, then it's gone forever" variety. Whether it's something that you use to avoid death once (as in Pharasma's case) or a boon you can activate whenever you want to gain a 1-day updgrade that, once it's over, it's over.
There's no limit to how OFTEN you can gain a boon, other than that you can only gain them when a GM says so.
(There are some boons that grant permanent adjustments or modifiers, but none of the three previewed above are like that—they grant one time effects.)

Pharasma looks glorious.
I thereby went and checked Vlada Hladkova's ArtStation page and damn! This lady can make art with the best of 'em.
