Nov 10, 2018 at 18:47 comment added VanD1206 It was my impression that the constraints are implicitly incorporated as restrictions to the allowed virtual displacements. I thought that as a consequence of this, the equation as it appears in my question should suffice to determine the equations of motion. Hopefully, the paper that you have kindly pointed me to will help me understand why the constraints will nevertheless need to be introduced using Lagrange multipliers.
