Now that would be a REALLY USEFUL exit point. Thousands of applications
written by thousands of people are polling the back-ends of their FTP
servers, waiting for files to appear so they can be processed. And then
occasionally they process only part of the file, because the client was
still uploading, so they have to tell their clients to do some lame
workaround like uploading the file and then renaming it.

That exit point would be far superior. The system calls your program and
tells it that file X was uploaded successfully by user Y and so on, and your
program submits the job to process it. Frankly I was astonished that IBM
provided the exit point before the PUT but not an exit point after the PUT,
given that this has been a problem since (most likely) about 2 days after
the first FTP server went into service 30 years ago.
