Indeed, those dataset types are not yet supported, and not even on the [VTKHDF roadmap](https://discourse.vtk.org/t/vtkhdf-roadmap/13257). The reason is that no one has seen it as a high enough priority to add support for those dataset types by either 1). contributing the format and code changes to VTK or 2). hiring a company like [Kitware](https://www.kitware.com/industry/support/) to add support for them. I would expect support for `vtkStructuredGrid` and `vtkRectilinearGrid` to be added eventually.
