a temporary workaround: in the whitelist of the jmx exporter file, change:

"jboss.as:management-root=server",

to:

"jboss.as:*",

Once i do that, I see the jmx exporter emitting the server avail metric. of course, that sucks because it now tells jmx exporter to get every jboss.as MBean and that causes performance issues.
