I don't think asking CC to check flaps/slats is practical, each person chosen would have to be trained, especially if variable settings are used at different airports. This would complicate crew rostering and those with the responsibility would probably want more pay.
Better to ensure that pre-takeoff checks by the aircrew are more prominent before rolling. Human error cannot be entirely eliminated.
