If so, do you have the waypoints for the holding area / ticket booth? I'm planning on crossing in August and would really appreciate any info which might speed things up.

Unlike Narva, you don't need waypoints because you're not going out of your way.
By the way, I would recommend crossing not at Shumilkino, but at Koidula, into Pechory. It's a big crossing, equipped for lots of traffic. There's a brief and dumb "toll road" on the Russian side, but you can stop and have a look at both Pechory and Izborsk - two very ancient Russian cities, more preserved than Pskov, which just has the old Kremlin and not much else of note.
Let me know when you're passing through Estonia.
