I think I understand what you mean, but the question is: would that be
very useful?

- If the user sees their phone when it wakes up, they won't need to
see a blinking LED too.

- If the user does not see their phone when it wakes up, it is
unlikely (I would guess) that they will return to it in the interval
before it suspends again.

I don't know what the current default is for the interval before the
phone suspends again, but I imagine one would want it to be quite
short, so as not to allow incoming calls and texts to consume a lot of
battery.
