Actually, Eren met Yelena in private around 10-11 months before now. Pixis said so, when the railroad was finished that Floch, who happens to be a Yeagerist, had been her watcher and had deliberately slacked off on his job to let them meet. By that time, I do think Eren would've had the foresight and thought to think of this on his own. As for the reason why he's not telling the others anything, Armin obviously figured it out, and it is in some way tied to the day they first saw the ocean, when Eren asked whether killing all their enemies on the other side would finally set them free. I've been brainstorming myself over this; it's obviously a clue but I still can't figure it out. That's actually the moment I'm talking about. At the time Eren met Yelena in private (when she convinced Floch to take her to him), Eren didn't know Yelena well at all. He wouldn't have known what an extremist she was since she hadn't opportunity to demonstrate just how far she was willing to go. Well, Yelena was in on the plan to begin with via Zeke; that is, the Euthanasia Plan. Yelena was the one doing the entrusting here with secrets and plans, not Eren. Plus, he may have figured out she was at least a bit overly zealous from repeated interactions (even from a distance) as well as the way she presented the plan to him in that talk. If there is one thing Eren has a knack for, it's discerning facades and people's true natures, especially now that he's calmer and wiser (Historia, Falco, etc.).

Also, I mentioned the specific time because you wrote, and I quote, "I have trouble believing Eren would come up with this plan and not share it with anybody for FOUR YEARS." I really don't think he'd thought this up all the way back then. No, he'd most likely began cooking it up after Yelena revealed the Founder's ability to change Eldian physiology and Zeke's ultimate goal. The fact he agreed to go along and yet isn't really, supports the theory that he noticed something off about her; that she'd go to great measures to make it all happen.
