they are available in the sdk, but I do not think they where expose to unity.
I can add some, and you can continue from there.

I assume you want the force on the joint DOF, for example say you have an actuator.
the joint generate 6 dof, but of those 5 are workless, meaning the relative velocity between the bodies long the dof is always zero, those are uninteresting, the one that allows motion is the one that is usually important.

I am going to try to make a small mock up demo in the plugin so that we can now test these changes.
something line a box with four hard wheel and a lifter, that way we can get better direct communication.
this should be easy to get going and will not be subjected to unity versions nonsense.
