To be clear I meant this very syntax is not supported in Hashcat but you
can do the same in other ways.

In JtR it's poorly documented (if at all) and code hasn't even settled
yet. Noone wrote the doc/MASK yet so "use the source, Luke" and in
particular rpp.c.
The rules engine, or rather its preprocessor, was reused for quickly
implementing mask mode. See doc/RULES but do not misread the "Character
classes" section as masks - only read the preprocessor section. Without
adding the new mnemonics you'd have to write the mask above as
"[A-Z][a-z][a-z][0-9]??".
The current mnemonics (defined in rpp.c line 108 and on) are just
shortcuts for predefined masks (?l really *becomes* [a-z] after
parsing). They are mostly shared with HC but we also have ?A as full
printable 8-bit (0x20-0xFF). Hashcat's maskprocessor defines ?h as
0xC0-0xFF while we currently define it as 0x80-0xFF. Maybe we should
change this and use ?h for 0xC0-0xFF and ?H for 0x80-0xFF, for closer
mimicing HC.

I suggested a similar thing but it's not yet implemented. I haven't
tested current mask mode with wordlist so I'm not sure if Sayanyan's
current code always appends mask after word or if it can do something else.

That is better achieved (and currently possible) using rules. Read
doc/RULES several times and try to understand the supplied rules in
john.conf ;-)
BTW I think Hashkill should also be mentioned. I'm pretty sure it too
outperforms JtR with GPU and it's open source:
