I have been thinking if I should implement an aromaticity indicator in MoleculeViewer. Something like this:

aromatic rings

The gnarly part is checking if Hückel's rule is satisfied in the component rings, but there are a number of gotchas in that that coding it would be a nontrivial effort.

Would this be worthwhile?

I'll vote no. While I don't read enough papers in the relevant fields, I have seen little to suggest that the aromaticity artwork is a critical component in 3D visualization of molecules.
