Could we have low thrust engines for fine orbital adjustments? These would be helpful for orbital and velocity adjustments during rendezvous.

    Why don't you make tiny engines yourself

    the nuclear powered engines work good on satellites for small, accurate adjustments. the water as fuel can keep the fuel tank size small...hydrogen needs a tank about 10 times as big for the same delta v

    Just make a tiny pressure feed engine

    For me, I never needed that kind of engines, I think 1% or even up to 3% of thrust words great especially if used in puffs, I get apogee and perigee with less than 300m or extend my apogee to Luna orbit with +- 500 m (out of 36,500,000 m) but if you need better find tuning then maybe you can use RCS with lowered power
