EKAR is stand alone for now. I am I have no info on a 13 speed road kit. I don't think they could do it though. 130mm rear spacing, I don't see how they could cram 13 in there. 12 is pushing it now.
130 or 135 rear spacing doesn't make a difference on the Cassette/freehub width - All things being equal it's the distance between the Hub flanges that changes. The Cassette is just spaced 2.5 mm farther out and that is why the chain lines are going wider to compensate.
