According to the new Multiversity guidebook, the version of the Legion seen in the future of the "Kingdom Come" reality (strikingly similar to the Reboot/Post-Zero Hour Legion) is now designated as Earth-22.

For those who like to keep up with such things.

So... for those of us who are fans of that iteration of the Legion can rejoice in knowing that they still exist too in this crazy New52 era.

So that's basically the Adventure era members, with the SW6 originals and XS, using the Sprouse costumes/codenames?

I've always been intrigued by that lineup.

not totally the same as the reboot though. Supergirl and Superboy were side by side and Supergirl and Brainiac 5 had a child.

True enough, but when you consider how each do-over has changed Legion continuity, shunting realities from one parallel future to another, this might reflect the best alternative.

Also consider that, according to Legion of 3 Worlds, the three-boot Legion turned out to be from Earth-Prime, which is now listed as Earth-33. At the end of the most recent Legion title, what has essentially been recognized as the Preboot Legion is suggested to have been from Earth-2, which looks to be doomed from what DC is doing with the Worlds End and Futures End weeklies. And yet, they're present and accounted for in Justice League United, ignoring a miraculous resurrection or two.

So... Will it be exactly as it was during the Reboot Legion's time? Probably not, but I can live with it being mostly like it.

Yes, and the picture also shows non-snake Jeckie/Projectra. But, according to Waid/Ross (in an interview read online) the Superboy and Supergirl featured in this reality were Kon-El and Matrix-Supergirl, not Kal-El and Kara. I'm not certain what that does to any relationship between Brainy and Supergirl, if there is one in this reality, or whether procreation is even a possibility.
