Try enabling tapping from Accessibility / Pointer Control

Make sure battery status is working, otherwise trackpad preference won't show. Reset NVRam is necessary.

I had tried adding additional patching but none works, I guess it dependent of the battery status. Anyway, what changes are you expecting to find in the Trackpad preference? 

If you want to speed up or slow down, you could try using the settings from the mouse preference. 

FYI, even with the Trackpad preference active, there's not much you can adjust to make it any better as most of the options are for show only and does not work. Most you can do is scroll up and down, maybe left and right. Left tab and 2 finger tabs for right click. 3 fingers slide for show desktop. That's basically all you can do with the Alps touchpad kexts.

In my experience, those work by default whether you enable or not.
