Pann's in the Saivite tradition in Tamilnadu is a good marker for the evolution of atleast some of these ragas/scales, many from the time of Manikkavasagar. If you go to the temples in Tamilnadu, even now they still sing those hymns in most of the ragas listed in the wiki.
However, I don't know whether it was developed any time earlier, like what's the dates for the different Sangam periods is just rife with politics.
But the Panns/hymns in Saivite traditions, Tevarams have definitely been transmitted/spread since at least the 8th century. It coincides with the three main kingdoms back then, and especially the Cholas and their massive temple building schemes. There are earlier Pallava kingdom edicts on music too, but I don''t know what's in them.
