Honestly she might never fully reconcile with the Crystal gems, and I would be fine with that, in fact, I think that would be more realistic. Think about what the Crystal Gems did to her. Pearl found her and stored her away without checking even once to see if she was indeed a live gem. And Garnet and Amethyst said pretty horrible things when Garnet was trying to get the mirror away from Steven. ("It's just a tool, it can't want anything") ("Yeah, lets BUBBLE it") I'm honestly ok if Lapis never fully forgives them, that would be realistic, but at the same time she accepts them, and will help out if they need it.

And yes, I know it sucks that they are going to be reoccurring characters now. I myself am still divided on the Barn issue. On one hand, I want them to be in Temple so that we'd see them more. But on the other hand, i'm happy with the barn situation because
 * 1) Where WOULD they stay in the Temple anyways? They have no rooms, as Peridot stated, she doesn't want to live in the bathroom again.
 * 2) Living in the Temple would be horrible for Lapis actually, having to be around the people who did nothing and remained unaware of her existence for thousands of years. (I know it's the same with Peridot, but I think Peridot has contributed the least to Lapis' pain throughout the show, therefore it will be easier for Lapis to forgive her) 
 * 3) This...isn't exactly show related but as a die-hard Lapidot shipper, Lapis and Peridot having their own little home together just makes me happy.

And remember; abuse/trauma victims don't instantly become happy right away. Healing takes A LOT of time, and Lapis literally was just freed from Malachite. You say shes unenthusiastic but I thought it was great and was showing that she's getting better. She could have rightfully refused to play with the Cyrstal Gems, but she just went with it. She was even having a good time, at least I thought so. She just isn't very expressive with her emotions, which is another common trait of abuse/trauma victims.
