The Psyche mission launching in October (to the asteroid of the same name) will include a laser-based communication system technology demonstration, the first beyond the Moon.

And here on Earth there's a new DSN antenna currently under construction at Goldstone (California) that will be capable of handling both radio and optical signals.

So nothing operational yet, but stuff is happening.
I worked at JPL, sometimes with the folks mentioned in this article. I suspect this is a money problem, not a technology problem. IIRC, everyone knows optical (laser) comms are going to carry a lot more load, and the DSN build-out plan already specs more ground-stations with smaller radii (better for closer tracking) vs larger dishes (better for voyager / juno style missions). There's also been commercial support (e.g., Amazon[1])
These folks know how to do it effectively and efficiently (and cheaply) just need the resources and permission.
