Delegation is a core requirement of many of the eScience usecases there originally used for some to form some of the input usecases etc for the Moonshot work so it is surprising that this is not a V1 feature.

Not in the current scope of development, but we know this is a
requirement. There has been some promising work integrating Moonshot with
Kerberos pre-auth (Moonshot authentication used to obtain TGT), which
might be interesting if a Kerberos-based approach is attractive for your
use case.
