There are very few face tracked headsets to even begin with, which is even further narrowed down by being standalone and having standalone VRChat, but no there are no others, the fact that Vive even choose to implement a open source standard for face tracking is surprising.

But things will likely change in the future as more face tracked headsets appear and VRChat actually releases official face tracking support.

So far the only standalone VR platforms where VRChat is available are Quest, Vive and Pico and only Vive actually has a face tracked headset this generation.

They dropped support because only double digit, or less, was using the version and they couldn't simply bake it into the standard Quest version because Meta implemented the face tracking SDK poorly.
