Yes, they have been working on telescoped case ammunition with an LMG program. The problem with the G11 is that the case is now the chamber, and the chamber accumulates all the carbon build-up, rather than ejecting it along with the spent brass.
Caseless was a nice idea, but as long as you are burning something, the residue needs to be dealt with, and I'm not sure how far they have come with clean-burning propellants suitable for small arms.
