A Completion_rests_engraver would be the right approach.

I don't think there's any stumbling block (indeed, you can knock up a
rough and ready version based on Completion_heads_engraver in a few
minutes); it's just waiting for someone to implement it properly,
which would probably include automatic creation of MultiMeasureRest
grobs as appropriate.
