That would solve the max FP metagaming issue, but it would still be ~really~ nice to be able to have an accurate readout on the character window. It already takes into account class passives that grant stat points, like Walk In Darkness, Exposure Tolerance, or Black And Blue. Would it really be that much overhead to take (Current Essence / 20) rounded down to the nearest integer, and add it to the appropriate stats' displays? It would only be seven operations: one division, one cast to integer, and five additions.
