(Sorry for the late, late reply; just recalled this thread...)

That's right.  AFAICT, the discussion about the native load-acquire
and store-release instructions was revived somewhere last year within
the RVI community, culminating in the so called Zalasr-proposal [1];
Brendan, Hans and Andrew (+ Cc) might be able to provide more up-to-
date information about the status/plans for that proposal.

(Remark that RISC-V did introduce LR/SCs and AMOs instructions with
acquire/release semantics separately, cf. the so called A-extension.)
