It makes sense that they won't allow their own skin to be ravaged (United States, Britain, Germany, France etc), but why not the Baltics and Poland, at this point?

I'm surprised they haven't done so, after these long months

Because nukes are terrifying, and Ukraine has no defense pact with NATO. Russia has also officially annexed the Donbas area, they now consider it Russian territory. If NATO armies surged onto that territory, it is quite possible for tactical nukes to start flying.

This would be best avoided. For everyone.
