The answer to the similar question you mention actually has your answer. No, there is no gender-neutral word for your parents' siblings.
From the answer:
This thread also mentions:
- that there is no encompassing word for aunt/uncle either
- that there is no male/female form of cousin.
- the article "There isn't a word for it":

My solutions would be "parents' siblings", and "siblings' children". They don't make single words, but do make concise terms.

I hadn't heard of any listed for aunt/uncle, but I did know the term 'nibling' for niece/nephew.
