Is it possible that Roland would release an updated GI-20? Or is there a similar product from someone else? Just a unit that converts 13pin to midi.

Roland reached the point of diminishing returns on its pitch-to-MIDI system a long time ago.  They just don't have the tech to make it work much better than a GI-20.

Used Axon units are available (I still have one I might eventually sell) if you want better tracking, but going forward it looks like Fishman is going to be the only game in town which, for the forseeable future, means having to hack an adapter to use.
