Specifying the PIM will only be supported in Tails 4.0. If you are
interested in the details: The PIM setting is only supported in
cryptsetup since cryptsetup version 2.0. Tails is currently based on
Debian Stretch, which ships cryptsetup 1.7.3. So the PIM will be
supported when Tails is based on Debian Buster (i.e. Tails 4.0).

Yes, I'm sorry that you won't be able to use the new VeraCrypt support
with your volume until Tails 4.0.

No, there are currently no plans to support creating VeraCrypt volumes.
