Hm this would basically require an entirely separate project, which would have to be a fork of one of the popular lightning nodes.

I will note that there does exist https://github.com/lightninglabs/lndmon though I'm not sure how extensive the metrics are that it collects.

Alternatively I bet lightning labs would accepts PRs to add more prometheus metrics to lnd...
