You can add them with
\DeclareFontShape {EU1}{LatinModernRoman(0)}{m}{sl}
{<->"Latin\space Modern\space Roman\space Slanted"}{}
\DeclareFontShape {EU1}{LatinModernMono(0)}{m}{sl}
{<->"Latin\space Modern\space Mono\space Slanted"}{}
etc.
So it is possible to use them. The main question is if fontspec should
offer an special option for the slanted fonts. I for myself don't have
much use for slanted fonts.

That's probably possible through some option after the font name.
