Yes, that would be useful to have available for some cases

As a meta-comment, I feel the need to point out that adding new public
API is never just "make some non-public method or property public".
The question to ask is: "Would adding an XYZ property or feature be a
good enhancement for the JavaFX API?" The fact that there happens to
be some internal method that seems to implement what you need is
largely irrelevant (other than as a proof of concept that such a thing
is possible).
So to reformulate your question:
Would adding a read-only treeVisible property to Node be a good
enhancement for the JavaFX API?
Now it's in a form that we can discuss it.
I don't yet have an opinion, but let's see where the discussion goes.

Hi,
For controls that contain looping animations, using
`Node#treeVisibleProperty()` can help reduce unnecessary overhead.
However, this property is not public, making it difficult for custom
controls to use.
So, is it possible to mark this property as public?
