It has been noted that Lich and Were-creature are nolonger monster tempalates, but rather presented as complete monsters.
Other than the Elite and Weak "Adjustments" in the Playtest Bestiary, has the fate or future of monster templates been mentioned anywhere else?

I think all we know is that monster-building uses a system similar to Pathfinder Unchained / Starfinder. I would imagine that Were-creature and Lich would be template grafts (or whatever that becomes in 2E) given that is what they are in Unchained.
On a side note I'm a bit disappointed that the monster creation rules aren't in the Playtest docs as would have liked to try them out (not least for converting old APs) but appreciate homebrewed monsters would skew the data Paizo gathers.
Jason Bulmahn, Director of Game Design, posted in this post about these rules.
I would make sure to reply in that post to make sure he knows that we want those rules released during the playtest.
