Absolutely, that’s why I wanted to know what types of things aren’t covered yet, and that’s also why I don’t share your certainty that they won’t be resolved later.

You'd have to read the discussions the Rust community has about this to get a picture. It's complicated.

From what I understand, there is hope for sqrt but there is no consensus on transcendentals.
