... But, updating the charge level meant that either the device was not actually sleeping or had to wake periodically to do the update. Neither are particularly good.
Why isn't it good? It seemed to work fine for me all these years. I don't recall any complaints from users. The device is plugged in. It doesn't seem to be a problem waking the device to sync. It doesn't seem to be a problem to wake to refresh the clock. ...

Alternatively, it meant the charging circuit did it which would be complications in a lot of places to get the number updated. Changing an LED is (probably) simple, but changing numbers in the middle of the screen is an unnecessary complication.
It sounds like you are proposing the charging circuit itself would have access to the screen and update it?
