There are githyanki but no githzerai?

I hope that the official release version of the game will have githzerai, they are all gith, don't let them separate
The models are all the same, the difference is only in the dialogue, I hope there will be a Zelai teammate

Admittedly, the Githzerai would have been a far more likely travel companion than a Githyanki.

Neither of the two cultures are fans of Mind Flayers, but the Githzerai are more peaceful and less xenophobic than the Githyanki.

Actually no. They would not prioritize killing each other. They would focus on the Illithid. Thats why Githzerai Illithid hunting parties (Rrakkma), are begrudgingly respected by Githyanki. TSR spoke to the very issue in the Rrakkma module

I'll rephrase that - rather than deal with finding a cure for the tadpole (different from 'there's an Illithid over there, let's go kill it) and investigating / destroying the cult of the Absolute.

I'd love to play a Githzerai

I'd be personally surprised if there isn't some amount of Githzarai in the game as a faction somewhere. You don't make Githyanki seemingly that important to what is going on in the background and not have the Githzarai SOMEWHERE.
With that said though, I don't forsee Larian adding them. At least not at release. Modders exist though, so someone will likely make a Githzarai variant for people to use.

Honestly, the major difference between Githzerai and Githyanki, aside from their bonus to Wisdom, and which spell like abilities they receive, is their culture. Both of them belong to the race of Gith, but one of them have adopted the ways of peace, and the other adopted the ways of war.
