The servo company at this point says they have no plans on releasing their test browser servo shell to the public. Does anyone of any browsers currently using or it in development?

Servo company? It’s an open-source project underneath the Linux Foundation. The Servo Shell source code seems to be here: https://github.com/servo/servo/tree/main/ports/servoshell
It probably wouldn’t be too difficult to compile it yourself, if you really want it.
However, you have to mind that it’s damn near impossible to build a browser from scratch that supports the majority of web standards at this point. Servo does not do so. Most webpages will not be usable on it.
That’s the reason why they don’t care to provide a general-purpose browser interface. Because Servo is only useful at this point when only a specific webpage or specific set of webpages needs to be displayed.
So, generally when it’s embedded into hardware or into a software application, where the user does not have a URL bar to type arbitrary addresses into, and where the webpage to display can be specifically crafted for Servo.
