Yes, I miss staff lists for Smart Shapes, too.
But there is a way around this.
First of all, while in the score you can copy ONLY measure-attached
Smart Shapes using a filter, from one staff to all the others. You
can nudge each one individually to set the positioning (you might
have to nudge it again anyway in the part, but it's a start).
Then while holding down the override key (on Mac it's the command
key; i'm not sure on PC) right click and set Show to "off" one at a
time for every staff except the ones you want it to show on - IN THE
SCORE. Because you held down the override key when you hid it in the
score, they will still be showing in the linked parts.
Cool, eh?
