Once a trust is filed and the trust paid the taxes (both federal and state) and the K1s for the beneficiaries show zero amounts, do the beneficiaries need to wait to file their personal tax return

I don't see a reason why they should wait I have looked over the instructions regarding this I was able to pull this information. 

"Use Schedule K-1 to report a beneficiary's share of the estate’s or trust’s income, credits, deductions, etc. on your Form 1040 or 1040-SR. Keep it for your records. Don’t file it with your tax return, unless backup withholding was reported in box 13, code B."
