I believe the best that's known is that (assuming an inaccessible
cardinal) any Grothendieck (∞,1)-topos can be presented by a model
category -- namely, a left exact localization of an injective model
structure on simplicial presheaves -- satisfying all of Joyal's axioms
except those involving coproducts (G1-G3) and fibrancy of the NNO
(A2).  Most of the properties are easy to show from the definitions;
G6 and G7 follow from the fact that it presents a Grothendieck
(∞,1)-topos; L2 follows from an adjoint pushout-product calculation;
and I showed L6 myself most recently in
https://arxiv.org/abs/1904.07004.

The extra axioms (G1-G3) and (A2) hold in many examples -- e.g. the
injective model structure itself, which presents a presheaf
(∞,1)-topos, and probably also other examples such as sheaves on
locally connected sites.  But in other cases even the initial object
may not be fibrant.  Personally, my current opinion (subject to
change) is that (G1-G3) and (A2) are unreasonably strong, and
unnecessary for most purposes.
