There is no change in 3.6 with respect to joins AFAIK and I wouldn't
expect any to happen in the 3.6.x series, so you'll have to wait for
3.7.  I don't know if joins are already re-enabled in 3.7, but if they
are then 3.7 is already quite useable if you want to try it.

FYI, the only fixes that we make in 3.6.x are simple maintenance fixes
to improve stability of the software, but we will not introduce new code
because of the risk of creating new problems in a stable version of the
software (fixing joins would be considered a new feature).  I guess the
backport of the PostGIS stuff from 3.7 to 3.6.4 is an exception to this
rule but it was because of some important problems in the previous
versions and the fact that the developer who did that was very confident
that this wouldn't cause any side-effect.
