Will we ever have other physical constraints besides the copies of the Godot ones?

[towerscripter1386]

Such as Gear constraint, Pulley constraint, Rack And Pinion constraint and etc

In this extension, no. Once this has been migrated into Godot itself as an actual engine module then maybe. There still isn't a clear plan for how to deal with some of these more Jolt-specific features though.

Nearing the release of 4.4, which includes Jolt, has there been any more thought towards these constraint types? I think these are very valuable constraints, and it's a shame that we don't have them (yet?)

Not really, no. There is a brief proposal made by another community member that you can upvote though: godotengine/godot-proposals#11338

I do think Jolt's FixedConstraint and DistanceConstraint makes sense to add to the shared interface at some point, since they're likely widely applicable to a lot of other physics engines out there, but the other ones are a tougher sell. It's unclear how we'd best go about exposing those.

I figure if the Godot foundation is content with the 6DOF joint types being unimplemented, it shouldn't be an issue for there to be other joint/constraint types that aren't implemented in all physics engine implementations. Here's to hoping someone can figure it out eventually.
