Agreed.

Is that feasible?
Only if you rewrite the functions to have a single return code path that we can add a tracepoint too. Or have a wrapper function that gets called directly that calls these functions internally and the tracepoint can trap the return value.
I can probably make function_graph tracer give return values, although it will give a return value for void functions as well. And it may give long long returns for int returns that may have bogus data in the higher bits.
