Yes, jack already could do the I/O connections, but jack can't do the
hardware routing, so not only a gain control is missing for what you
want to get. The abilities of audio interfaces are very different. You
seem to have an idea of what does fit good to your personal needs, but
what you want to get seemingly is very unusual. The routing of hardware
monitoring could be much too complex, that's why hdspmixer and/or
mixing consoles are usually used.

The hwmon option to jackd is just on/off, it
doesn't give any way to
control the gain of the connection, or the routing if there are
multiple inputs and multiple outputs. I think the jackd option never
caught on because it was too limited to be useful.
Well, maybe. In my ideal world, I'd tell Jack which channel I want to
map to which output with which gain, and if it can map this to
hardware, it will, and otherwise use software. But of course this
would require putting this kind of thing into Jack API and
responsibility in the first place. Jack can already connect in- and
outputs. Just the gain is missing...
