We can certainly *talk* about simplicial types in 2LTT as exofunctors
from the exocategory Delta to the exocategory Type.  I assume the
point you're making is that we don't have a (fibrant) *type of*
simplicial types, whereas we do have a fibrant type of semisimplicial
types (under appropriate axioms)?

Personally, I think the best axiom to use here is that exo-Nat is
*cofibrant*, i.e. Pi-types with domain exo-Nat preserve fibrancy.  We
don't know how to model "exo-Nat is fibrant" in all higher toposes,
but it's easy to interpret "exo-Nat is cofibrant" in such models,
since Pi-types with domain exo-Nat are just externally-infinite
products.
