I'd be surprised if they did that considering the design of NIN. Since going into "mudra' doesn't allow you to WS they should just change it where Weaponskills are turned into the juts you want to perform. They could easily make it where you "cast" ninjutsu now so each jutsu would have a short timer from .5 secs to 1.5 seconds instead of something being reliant on human input.

As for why they don't put mudra on client side, it's because the main issue is the limitations of what a server can handle information wise. They tried as best as they could with mudra activation being as responsive as possible but they are now at the conclusion that in it's current design it hinders any forward momentum NIN would have as the level cap continues to increase.

It's painfully obvious this Expansion because of all the micro NIN has to deal with, micro that isn't hard to handle in theory however the moment you try to cast a jutsu and your mudra lags for a second before inputting and throws your whole flow off. By removing that variable of mudra input the current design of NIN could work because now it can flow quicker with jutsu being used as it should be designed for, in between weaponskills.

Since in theory with the 2 second weaponskill cooldown and the .5 second between each mudra, a NIN in theory should be able to cast a ninjutsu before their Weaponskill recharges but because of internet latency it's not possible.
