When I open a epub and see a file 00001.ttf, I need to look at a preview to know what it is.
90% of the time it turns out to be Times Roman, Bookerly or the like that I can just delete and replace with "serif" in the CSS.

Yes of course, and I mentioned that in my post.
If I have 5 fonts, that is a lot of clicking and opening and closing external apps to see them all, while the edit and preview panes in Sigil remain inert.
Same would hold for any plugin, unless it can actually use the main panes, which I've never seen a plugin do. Would love it that were possible.
HTML shows text and preview
SVG shows the text, but not a preview.
CSS, OPF, NCX, show the text contents,
JPEG, GIF, PNG shows the image and its specs.
TTF, OTF, show nothing at all about the files. Not even the file size or the name of the font contained.
So showing a font preview would be quite consistent.
