I've tried latest python-ts-mode from latest emacs-29 branch, with 
fontification set to level 4 and I can still reproduce this error.

Looking at the code, I cannot see any "function" feature defined, and to 
me it seems a patch like the one I added is required to introduce this 
functionality.

I believe this is standard for js-ts-mode, typescript-ts-mode, 
tsx-ts-mode and csharp-ts-mode. Even on level 3, and if it wasn't, as a 
user of those languages, I would argue in support of having it there :)

I can't "speak" on behalf of the other major-modes though.

I guess that is another discussion entirely (how to implement a given 
set of features).

This bug is about a feature (function-call highlighting)  being fully 
missing :)
