An example from Reason that perhaps could be implemented: A balloon help pops up when "hovering" the mouse over a connection showing what the "cable" is connected to at the other end. With Usine I think it would be better showing module_name.outlet and module_name.inlet when hovering over or selecting a wire. The module_name could eg be the caption, possibly overriden by any text given by right-clicking the module.

My idea does not concern EG, but visual feedback within a patch...

I guess the Draw Trajectory user module could be used for something like this when one needs it. IIRC there is an add-on that does something similar, or...?
BTW, since we're on the subject of visual feedback, I came to think of something I think could help when patches get complex: An arrow indicating the direction of the wire instead of the little dot in the middle. Perhaps also a pixel or three extra thickness on selected wires (either directly or as connected to a selected module).

My idea is to have an option to see "moving dot' from module to module...Just imagine, in the clip, that the numbers are modules in a patch. For exemple, you could see the "moving dot" going from the midi in to audio out within your patch.
Perhaps a useless idea

The actual 'wire monitor' tool is helpful.

While patching, I often click the little dot in the middle of a wire to select it, and can then see all the data going through. (Well, not all data actually; I think it's only the first value of arrays.) VERY handy for debugging!

Would it be difficult to implement the option to have some kind of visual feedback to be able to see data or audio circulating through wires and modules?
It could be useful when a patch become weird
Here's is a exemple taken from Augur VSTi (you have to click on it i believe):
