(At least right now)

Electronic transitions whose multipole order is not E1 or E2 (most importantly, does not do M1 transitions)
Linear strings with shaped potential
Magnetic field gradient fluctuations
Multi-valence-electron states
- e.g. Ytterbium with its D3[3/2]1/2 state
Natively handle incoherent dynamics due to spontaneous emission
Multispecies ion chains
Micromotion

I think the best thing to do is add this list to https://docs.ionsim.org/ .

Coupling of normal modes to each other (eg due to trap frequency modulation, Kerr coupling)
