The GH4 was announced in February 2014 - Less than 2 years later came the GH5

The GX7 was announced in August 2013 - Less than 2 years later came the GX8. After 6 more months came the GX7 II.

Now, considering that 2 and ½ years went by since the GX8 announcement, when will Panasonic announce an upgrade?

They won't announce it, any time soon. Their new stills-oriented flagship is G9. The successor to GX8 is G9 and will remain in that position for some time, I honestly believe.

Will it be GX8 II or GX9 ?

I don't want to crush your hopes but neither GX8II or GX9 are coming this year, I honestly believe. G9 replaced them. Take it or wait for Olympus E-M5mIII.

Yes, wait for a camera that does not exist.
