Indeed, I am talking about the latest Org.

Note that you may achieve what you want in personal config with appropriate `org-cycle-hook'.

I am renaming this to feature request. I see not great need to add and
_maintain_ this feature, unless more people are interested.

The suggested idea, AFAIU, is

* Top heading
empty heading indicating to what level 'children cycle state is
revealing the headings.
***
** Sub 1 <displayed on cycle>
*** Sub 1.1 <also displayed, as indicated by first ***>
*** Sub 1.1.1 <not displayed>
** Sub 2 <displayed>

If one starts from

* Top heading...

and <TAB>

it is suggested to display

* Top heading
empty heading indicating to what level 'children cycle state is
revealing the headings.
***
** Sub 1
*** Sub 1.1...
** Sub 2

instead of current behavior with

* Top heading
empty heading indicating to what level 'children cycle state is
revealing the headings.
***
** Sub 1...
** Sub 2
