I have two questions regarding these to words:
1 If I want to express the meaning of "as is the case with XXX", can I say "as true for/of XXX" or "as is true for/of XXX"?
2 Is it okay to say "there is lacking + n." and "there is lacking in + n."?

In your 1st statement, ’as’ describes a role!
So, if you write “as true for xyz” it shows the manner ..! How something is true for you, in similar manner its true for xyz!
While “as is true for xyz” this means that what is true for you is even true for xyz!
I think the later version will be better!
In statement 2, ‘in’ shows inclusion!
This means, whether you want to say there’s something lacking!! OR there’s lacking in something !!
Example “ There is lacking information”
OR
“He was lacking in confidence”
Both are correct just the use might differ in different context!

Hello, skakd. I agree with what has been written above, although my own writing style is a little more subdued. (I rarely use exclamation points.) I think in the first question, the second case may be confusing as with is. You can say is true for/of something, but not as true for/of. That extra auxiliary verb is necessary: as is true for/of. In the second question, are you asking about there is specifically? If so, the only case I can think of in which such a construct is somewhat commonly employed is when someone wants to emphasize an idea or make a joke, as in the following example:
There is lacking funds, and then there is lacking funds, being flat-out broke, without a penny in your pocket.
Of course, such usage is a little casual, but it is not grammatically incorrect. I cannot think of a similar sentence for there is lacking in, so I would be more hesitant to use it. Cut there is, though, and that is a different proposition altogether. One example off the top of my head is Lacking in nutrients, the juice was nothing but sugar.
I hope this information proves useful to you.
