I wouldn't say that. I'm on a team that's doing reconstruction: glia are included. Astrocytes have a massive surface area, so their meshes are harder to analyze, but we have them along with oligodendrocytes and some possible microglia.
I would caution that the connectome is like the human genome. Both are very useful, but both came with a lot of hype that it would solve everything. We have connectomes for things like C. Elegans and we're still unsure about neuronal computations within them.
