There is a classic 70s literature on thinkaloud in chess and sort of reasoning puzzles I think (like Herb Simon era) but I don't know if it's been revisited from modern perspective. could be interesting

Glad you think so! To @micahgallen.com's original question, if you want explicit metacognitive judgments, I can't think of anything. However, a lot of recent work in planning is all about metacognitive control, focusing on cost-benefit arbitration and uncertainty/confidence. Links follow.
Second is esp. relevant as it links planning with information-seeking where a lot of metacognition work is done. Sezener's and my work also use this link, drawing on rational metareasoning (Russell https://doi.org/10.1016/0004-3702(91)90015-C
Just to give a hint on the potential for think aloud to answer these questions - this is my favorite chess streamer video - pretty nice evidence for model-based planning and model-free decision making from just one trial of data! https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=6zyszXjPOqE
