We already modeled it but, we are a bit stuck because it doesn't seem to be very easy (and, with most 3rd party complex airplanes, not very reliable) to simulate the slight progressive pitch up of the nose gear, and having the model doing its animation, with the gear still planted on ground, would look very weird.

So, no chance to have it even as a "Beta Feature"?

We already have a towbarless Pushback truck in GSX, the only thing it doesn't do, is raise the airplane, for the reasons explained before. I don't say it's not possible, but it might cause issues with some flight models.
