I would certainly love that. Though there is huge variation in how
close pencils and inking are. For example, one mangaka stated that he
keeps his pencils rough to not just trace when inking, as otherwise he
gets bored and ends up with “dead” lines.

A related idea: taking in line-art and generating all the flat color
fills (ideally handling gaps like a human would).
