Then there's the toxic element, yada yada yada.

If one were ever to be implemented it should only be available to those in a FULLY preset party. If there's so much as a single random person in the group; from DF obviously, the parser should be inaccessible, therefore cutting some of the toxicity.
I don't know if it's really a distraction insofar as people shouldn't be looking at it during a fight, but I can see what you're getting at if you mean that people will worry about it and thus possibly fail a mechanic because they're thinking too much about the meters. Not thinking about it is something that comes with time and practice, though, like most things that cause similar anxiety.
