Hi RC dude,
Sure, something like that could be built in to an ESC. Would add a bit of cost.
Even better is active cell balancing -- this is what is being used in a lot of electric (full-sized) cars today. When there is a weaker cell, power is sent from the stronger cells to the weaker cells (via a very complicated set of DC-DC converters) to keep the charge balanced throughout the discharge cycle.
I expect we'll see active charge balancers for hobby pretty soon.
