The status just says "Backing up thumbnails". There are around 12,000 photos that I need to backup but I don't have any sight on how much progress has been made or how many photos are left.

12000 photos?
That's going to take some time to process.
Give it a day or two

Would I just be better off uploading them to Google Photos from PC? I've already transferred them locally from phone to PC. The only problem with that is handling the duplicates (photos uploaded from PC vs photos which were already uploaded from the phone)
