After much thinking and feedback from my co-workers in the development team I decided to revert the changes that I made in the plugin that were going to implement this option.
First of all I do not trust serialized data [1] in PHP. At the beginning this plugin used to store the security logs in plain text files using serialized data and then it was migrated to JSON, so I thought it would be “easy” to implement your “Option Inspector” using JSON, but it requires several lines of code to just determine the data type of each value.
Also, you already have a plugin to do this [2] so there is no need to duplicate that functionality in the Sucuri plugin because it adds more things to the code that I would have to maintain.

Oh! I didn’t meant to include an option debugger in your plugin.
I was just offering it to you for development use.
Yes, I knew you were the developer of that plugin, it is a cool project, I may use it in some of my personal websites, thanks for the suggestion 🙂
