I did read from a Reading fan that they have to be given a months notice... Which if it comes on 5th April, will conveniently take them to the end of the season, meaning they wont have to null & void any results, given the season would have been completed.

If that is the case what happens if they finish 6th and then get thrown out ? Their place cant simply be given to the team finishing in 7th so whoever plays then in the semis should be given a bye into the final.
But this is the EFL we are talking about. No decisions will be taken until after the play off final. Just more delay.

If we finish a point behind Wrexham, they should null and void the results so we leapfrog them (they lose 3pts, we lose 1pt). Obviously.

Probably be a repeat of what happened in the National League Play-Offs last season, when Gateshead's ground wasn't eligible for the EFL, so they weren't allowed to compete. On that occasion Altrincham (the highest Quarter-Final side) got a bye to the Semi-Finals, so imagine in this case; 3rd would get a bye to the Final.
But yeah I wont be surprised to see the EFL deliberately dither.
You say this but the EFL were quite happy to relegate Macclesfield and watch them go bust.
They finished bottom of League Two, and only got relegated because of PPG used due to Covid. Stevenage would have been relegated as well, but they avoided it, because of what happened to Bury.
When Macclesfield went bust it wasn't their problem, because they weren't an EFL member.
