I agree with you, and I'm SHOCKED at how little work there actually is in phonetics within the NLP community. Consider that most of the phonetic tools that I am using to enforce rhyming or similar syntactic constrained in constrained text generation studio (https://github.com/Hellisotherpeople/Constrained-Text-Generation-Studio https://github.com/Hellisotherpeople/Constrained-Text-Genera...) were built circa 2014, such as the CMU rhyming dictionary. In most cases, I could not find better modern implementations of these tools. I did learn an awful lot about phonetic representations and matching algorithms. Things like "soundex" and "double metaphone" now make sense to me and are fascinating to read about.
