IIUC the "inlay hints" are about different information.

Information that is not determined by the position of point.

For example, annotating variable declarations with specific types in a 
language that infers types, here's a screenshot:

Or adding parameter types (or names) inside function calls, example:

So I don't think this fits Eldoc's protocol.

You were probably thinking of signature help (that was my initial 
impression as well).
