No, it would just add confusion. - The meters are there to show levels at the AD/DA converters, i.e. to allow you to check you are using those in a sensible way. They happen to be on the same window as the mixer, which can be useful as they suggest to the user which signal is being controlled by a fader. But otherwise they are not part of the mixer, and a better place for them would be with the HW gain controls. - The post-fader signals in the mixer are not available anywhere, they just get summed to the bus. There is little point in measuring such signals, even less with a meter that just shows digital peak level and has no relation at all to the real loudness of a signal and what it contributes to a mix.
