Rex Black Diamond does.
The resistance to drivetrain wear of a drip wax lube is almost as good as hot melt wax.
At least
Effetto Mariposa Flower power wax is.
I can't speak to the products you use, but I do not miss using Squirt, which required a lot of attention to achieve sufficient penetration (heating it up slightly due to the viscosity, working the links to massage it in), and inevitably ended up as a gunky grey goo on all moving parts. It also did not last very long between applications, and I did not get any particularly good chain life out of it. Some wax drips penetrate better and set harder, but these often use volatile carriers. A good drip on wax solution can probably work well as hot wax chain top up when going on epic level rides, unless you just carry a spare hot waxed chain.
