Instead of inserting a NOP instruction, you could fill that slot with a useful instruction. Then, of course, that useful instruction must also be part of the tracepoint code, in order to have it performed when the tracepoint is enabled as well, when the original instruction is replaced with a jump.

That's very smart, but a bit tricky to implement (at least on x86 and other archs with variable instruction lengths). I'd say go for it!
