As I understand it, the plan is to deprecated and remove BIP37 entirely once BIP158 is implemented and deployed.
In the meantime, Bitcoin Knots supports the MSG_FILTERED_WITNESS_BLOCK extension to download witness data. (Note that light clients currently have no way to verify the witness data is correct.) As far as matching goes, why not look for the specific COutPoints? That should work already with standard BIP37.
