I think you are right, but see this recent commit (in 0.9.2+):

    24f33c7 2019-06-17 18:15 +0200 LGL
    src: enable set expiration date for set elements

    https://git.netfilter.org/nftables/commit/?id=24f33c7

...which sounds like there is a new (as-yet-undocumented?) keyword for
changing (as opposed to initializing) the timeout of a set element.
