Indeed I’d love this feature and have asked for it for a long time. Hopefully some day.
There is a small workaround that gets you almost there. It’s a bit more to click but works. At least for one track. Hold SHIFT and double click a clip, and all subsequent clips are also selected. You can move those around then. It’s a lot more cumbersome that direct ripple mode and involves more clicking, but at least for one track it works OK.
