Long-form noble titles are used very rarely, because they’re so unwieldy, and we’ve only seen a couple of folks who would be in a position to have multiple titles at all in the sort of detail where the long form would be used. Dumbledore is the only example I know of where they actually used anything longer than a few words. You’re right that we might have seen one, but Rowling would likely have found it a bit too complex, and they’re not so common that the lack is significant.
I thought this contradicted at least some of what JKR said about the later (post-Hogwarts) reformation of the wizarding world accomplished by Hermione Granger, but it seems JKR just mentioned laws favoring pure-bloods, not laws favoring an aristocracy/nobility. The relevant passage is this:
After the final battle at Hogwarts, Hermione Granger attained a high position in the Ministry of Magic, first through the Department for the Regulation and Control of Magical Creatures. There, she continued her work with SPEW, working for the rights of underprivileged non-humans such as house-elves.
She then went on to attain a high position in the Department of Magical Law Enforcement, eradicating the old laws biased in favour of pure-bloods. Along with Harry and Ron, she helped to revolutionize the Ministry and reform the wizarding world. At some point, Hermione, Harry and Ron were all featured on Chocolate Frog Cards for their accomplishments.
I’m pretty sure that Lucius Malfoy was Lord Malfoy in canon.
The canon Potterverse showed no signs of being semi-feudal though. I imagine that he was a lord in much the same way that present day Lords of the Commonwealth are, ie. upper class but without meaningful rights over the rest of the population.
Edit: a google search for Lord Malfoy doesn’t appear to bring up any text results from canon, but the potter wiki describes him as “aristocratic”.

You would be wrong.
Edit in response to your edit: He is “aristocratic”. He’s rich, he lives in a manor, he carries a cane, and he’s a pureblood. He’s just not a lord, or any other sort of noble.
You’re right, actually, it isn’t. The Black family is just called “the Noble and Most Ancient House of Black”, it doesn’t actually have any members with any sort of title. So there isn’t any nobility.
In that case I’d expect in that case there to be more people whose title is something like “Lord of Malfoy, Black, Longbottom, and Potter”.
Oh god, bad fanfiction flashbacks...
I wasn’t sure whether it was relevant to include a note about those there.
If only Harry realized earlier that he was a descendant of all four Hogwarts founders, Merlin, Amaterasu, and Voltron.
Don’t forget Naruto!
Or better yet, do forget Naruto.
Not to mention the Sage of the Six Paths!
Not to mention...
I’d throw in son of Mr. Fantastic for good measure. (nobody says Lilly was faithful)

Rowling wouldn’t have done it because the only nobility in canon Harry Potter is the Black family.

Really? That doesn’t seem right.
