Yes, the kensei ("kensai" is a mistransliteration/typo) is a monk subclass in XGtE.

I always hoped they make a "Spoony" Bard subclass.
Charlaquin
Goblin Queen (She/Her/Hers)
Urban druid is another good one I forgot.

Possibly a Idiot.
The Plant/Tree/Flower Druid. I am actually shocked that we haven't seen a UA attempt at it, it seems like such an obvious thing.
Yes, I am aware of the Circle of Spores. But mushrooms aren't plants and those guys are more like anti-druids to begin with.
Other than that, I am down with the Generalist Wizard, and Wearcreature/Warp spasm Barbarian,

Yes to all of these and a few more,
Dancer/Dervish Bard
Witch/Witchcraft Wizard or Druid
Mystic (as in the 2e class) Cleric or Druid
An Earth, Water, and Fire Sorcerer classes to match the Storm Sorcerer (but aren't just palette swaps/keyword changes)
I agree with Crawford here, most of the 'standard' tropes are covered. Reading this list of archetypes in this thread kind of reiterates this. While a lot of the suggested ideas in the thread are good, I would not consider them 'standard' tropes.
The plant druid was a good idea above though, surprised that one hasn't been done.
If I would pick a standard trope (pretty much present in every literature) not expressed, maybe:
the henchmen/side-kick

I've always wanted a "physical transformation/body horror" Barbarian archetype.
Two for Bards I can think of are a College of Dirges (necromancy focused) and College of Hymns (psuedo Cleric basically). I've seen both in homebrew (even made one of them myself), but having official stuff is always nice.
A Chaos-esque domain for Clerics has been mentioned, and one that I would like (I think Order fits for Law, and maybe Trickery works for Chaos, but it's a loose fit.) Another domain I'd like to see is Travel, but that's more personal preference then anything.
This is more gameplay than story, but a dedicated Blaster Druid would be nice to have.
A Throwing based Paladin would be neat, just don't really know how you would tie that to an oath.
I would like an Undead sorcerous origin, maybe have it leech life and turn it into sorcerer points?
Noble Genie Warlock is one that I am honestly surprised hasn't even been mentioned by WotC.
For a new class, I'm always gonna want a Summoner like in Pathfinder, though that might just be because I'm a big fan of Persona and want some of that in D&D.
One kinda unrelated but I want is a Fighting Style for using Versatile weapons with two hands.
That's what I can think of now.

Gladius Legis

- Oath of Liberty/Freedom Paladin (basically expanding on the Holy Liberator concept)
- Thug/Enforcer Rogue (STR-based, allowing Sneak Attack with additional weapons including bludgeoning, maybe some enhanced grappling ability)
Yeah, just give me these two and we'll be all set.

I think there is a lot of low hanging fruit for the Sorcerer and Warlock still left to pick, but, yeah: most of the ideas in this thread are either narratively esoteric or mechanics driven.

Doesn't the scout do this? Or do you mean with a pet? Whatever way you did it it would have to use a class other than ranger as it's basis.
Yes! I knew I was missing something.
The drunken master really should have done this. I have houseruled that drunken masters treat improvised weapons as monk weapons.
