Unmentionables exist...
Really crappy ones do and mostly they're not the original music.
Some rip the official soundtrack and add the Silva Screen tracks and make play it's the complete original score. Bull****.
Some even add an Erich Kunzel recording and claim it's the unused Moonraker overture. Paging all the gullible people.
Some are so-called back-channel rips off the DVD over-processed to remove dialogue and effects, and sound utterly horrible.
Some are midi recreations.
Some are a blend of all the above.
But NONE that I have ever seen have the pure, complete, original music track. Not one.
Cheers

Maybe Jeff Bezos would okay a release. The movie has the Amazon in it and also ridiculously sends somebody into space.

I’m not sure, but isn’t it the case that the IP rights to the movies (including the music) are owned by Danjaq? In which case the Amazon deal should affect the ability to assign music rights to a label like LLL.
I looked it all up:
Danjaq and MGM are the co-owners of the James Bond franchise rights.
EON and Danjaq are both wholly owned by the Wilson/Broccoli family. MGM is about to be owned by Amazon, pending regulatory approval.

The last post from MV I could find was from January 2022 in which he agreed to another poster that not saying anything in advance would be wiser:
„He means that he regrets posting publicly that LLL was close to being able to do Tomorrow Never Dies, Moonraker, and License to Kill expansions, because now he feels like he'll be repeatedly getting asked about those projects over and over again until they finally come out. So, he will no longer mention anything LLL has in the works until shortly before it is released to avoid being frustrated by these questions.
That is now I interpreted it anyway!“
Bingo

This is true, the original, 'pure' music tracks have never been released. It's always been one or more of the options you listed above. But I don't find all of those options 'crappy.' I love this music so much, that I can get much joy out of listening to it in rips from the DVD/BD audio channels, or synth recreations, or re-recordings. The music itself is so good that many of the perceived flaws there might be fall by the wayside for me.
Some people don't like re-recordings, because they are, as the name suggests, not the original recording, and they will settle for nothing less. Personally, I can enjoy them, as long as they are done with a certain level of competence (I don't expect them to be perfect either). To me, what a composer wrote doesn't have to live solely in his own recordings of it. A re-recording can capture much, if not everything of what said composer came up with. It's not that I wouldn't jump with joy if the original recordings were released, but I can appreciate the alternatives, and I think I will appreciate them even after the original recordings are released.
As a hobby, I sometimes create MIDI files of film music (not necessarily full-fledged synth recreations-- there is a difference), and I find myself listening to them occasionally. The sound is very rudimentary, as it's basically sheet music being played with a MIDI soundfont through the computer, but it offers something nothing else can offer, not even the precious original recordings: the music the composer wrote in its rawest form, devoid of the specificities and 'imperfections' of performance. It's like looking at a sketch vs. looking at a painting. There is joy to be had in both cases.
But basically, my point is, sometimes the music is so good that it can be enjoyed in a multitude of ways. It doesn't have to be solely about original recordings in pristine quality.

"Masterpiece"? I'm not sure, but I also would buy a complete (or at least expanded) soundtrack album. But my Barry Bond masterpieces are "Goldfinger" and "Thunderball".
