Yes, our GA will be less than it would be later.
The Pyramids + GA + Republic has a synergy to it that really speeds everything up though, and the advances made in population growth still pay off after the GA is finished.
With the Pyramids we should be able to have about half again the population we normally would have going into the Middle Ages. With 14 cities in a Republic (Chieftain?/Standard), that's like having half a GA effect on overall production and commerce without the GA.
I think the advantages to the Pyramids outweigh those for any other Ancient Era wonder in our situation. The free Granaries give more gpt advantage than the Collossus would up until Hospitals at least.
How many turns are we from the Republic? We get Writing next turn, and have Code of Laws + Republic to research. I think someone mentioned it would take 30 turns to research Republic at our current capacity, so CoD being 10/28ths of that would take roughly 10 turns. That gives 42 turns (probably a bit less if we're done with the disease) before we can be in a Republic.
It sounds like the timing will be able to be worked out well. We shouldn't be afraid of a GA while in a Republic. The advantages early in a game tend to compound, and so even though it's less advantage directly, indirectly it can be as much or more than if we wait.
