But you can get similar functionality and more from EOAM regardless of framing.

Does EOAM detect errors on a link with very little traffic?

Anyhow, on for instance ASR9k we get this:

Configuration Mode: WAN Mode
SECTION
  LOF = 13, LOS = 7, BIP(B1) = 8980
LINE
  AIS = 0, RDI = 25, FEBE = 1241369229, BIP(B2) = 43028956
PATH
  AIS = 0, RDI = 0, FEBE = 45308, BIP(B3) = 2558
  LOP = 0, NEWPTR = 0, PSE = 0, NSE = 0
WIS ALARMS
  SER = 13, FELCDP = 0, FEAISP = 30
  WLOS = 7, PLCD = 0
  LFEBIP = 1241369229, PBEC = 2558

So using this, you get bit error counters (counting all bits, not just when there is a packet being sent), and you can also see FEBE (Far End Bit Error), ie you can see both sides from one end.

If there was the possibility of running G.709 FEC on all interfaces as well, I'd gladly do that. Anything that detects (and corrects) bit errors on the link is good.
