Interesting idea. Most places I have access to something like this... RME TotalMix or some effects... I find it causes unpredictable volume fluctuations.
I have sometimes used an auto level feature to keep the level into a compressor warm. This works fine as long as performance is constant. But if the acoustic guitar goes quiet, you just have nicely compressed ambient noise added to the mix. I find it hard to handle live. I might allow 3 to 6 dB with a slow attack, but that's my limit.
Having gain auto compensated on the other side of an effect chain could give the illusion that you properly set effects when that might not be the case.
It probably would be useful for comparing effects bypassed vs on.

I make some videos.
This one shows how to do a physical loopback on the RME UCX to get many more equalizer nodes.
