Yes, there is no VLS on the F125 (although it has decent radars).
There are also no ASW weapons on board (and no ASW sensors).
In german forums they are often called "Kolonialkreuzer" (colonial cruisers),
as they seem only capable to fill very limited roles.

I like have somewhere before, the German Navy missions are different from their NATO peer like France and the Royal Navy. They build ships that will fit with their mission requirements. We will probably never see a German made aircraft carrier in our life time unless the situation calls for it. If NATO has a need for Germany to build up their coalition defenses against say Russia for example than there will be more demand for it. As for now, I don't see the tensions between Russia and NATO are escalating.

Franco-German Fighter
France and Germany in July announced high-level plans to collaborate on development of a new combat aircraft as part of a strengthened defense agreement between the countries. They also signed a letter of intent to develop a maritime patrol aircraft. Airbus later unveiled a future airpower concept that combines a low-observable manned fighter with small unmanned combat aircraft.
