I see that XEP-0085 ("Chat State Notifications") which can be thought
as being a "spiritual successor" to the deprecated XEP-0022 ("Message
Events") lacks support for the "message is stored in the server's
offline storage" notification.

While this omission is understandable (XEP-0085 explicitly positions
itself as a "client-to-client only" mechanism), being notified of
successfull offline storage is very convenient, and in fact this is
the major reason message events still not deprecated in Tkabber yet
(also because they're still supported in ejabberd).

So my question is: is there any "contemporary" (i.e. recommended)
mechanism to get notifications for messages successfully stored by the
peer's server to its offline storage? (Preferably without resorting to
such monstrous protocols as AMP). Also may be the "client-only
strictness" of XEP-0085 mentioned above is too tight a requirement and
it's possible to augment XEP-0085 somehow so that the server could
generate something analogous to the XEP-0022's <offline> notification
in suitable cases?
