Note that the idea is *not* to have such feedback for the reasons
you mention. It is to make such things _explicit_ and user patchable
so a voice allocator can do more sophisticated things than most do
today. For example decide that a new note should not be a new voice
but a continuation of an existing one, depending on some configured
or even patchable conditions.
Ciao,
E.g. as a function of legato or staccato played notes to restart or
continue the envelope?
For example, or to do something special when a note is
repeated, depending on where in its envelope(s) the first
one was when its note-off arrived, etc.

Or some
_explicit_ feedback from somewhere downstream the patch
telling the voice allocator that a particular voice has decayed
far enough to be a candidate for re-use. My exploratory designs
for AMS II (gathering dust since four years) did exactly that.
This "was" a very good mechanism at the times when the first
synth were
able to play different sounds for different MIDI channels, but tone
generators were to expensive, because of technical limits,...
