seems to be missing.

(all which lacks a texture next to them seem to be broken)

Joint textures templates have always been that way. The head texture template is the only template you'll need, as it'll work for any joint texture you need. Hope this helps.

Yes, but last time I poked about this the "Fix" with a eta "soon" were to relink or rehost said head texture for the other items. Has this been decided to not be a suitable solution to this issue?

Hmmm, no idea about that. I'll poke some higher ups later and find out. Perhaps someone will update you in the meantime
