Should a toggle button show its current state or the state to which it will change? (ux.stackexchange.com)

I disagree. I think both the current state and the state it will change to should be clearly labeled.

Also - just because everyone is familiar with something doesn't make it a good user experience. We're used to play/pause but it's honestly not very good.
