Plenty of interesting story can be wrung from this concept, and it's not really an Evangelion story if it doesn't involve betrayal, moral cowardice and death. I'm just saying that within the context of the story Shinji meeting Gina at this existentially delicate time is a bad idea, everybody involved should see it's a bad idea and that the consequences of this bad idea shouldn't just be shrugged off.)
Heck, even Noah knows it's a bad idea - he's just diplomatic about saying so:

(Especially Gina, who left her old persona behind years ago and now has an adopted daughter – I can't begin to imagine how he'll handle that.)
But sometimes shock therapy is useful. Is this one of those times?
Oh! This assumes that Gina still looks like Asuka. Does she? (Sora's changed, and so has Agatha, but Kohran will probably never change her basic appearance. And Gina's not my character...)
