This is an interesting idea. If there is more interest in this, let's please re-roll the patch and perhaps also include some further UX.

1) Make this optional enabled/disabled on the field settings
2) Possibly add a details set for advanced options to the field widget and place this option there?

To have this work, you must have the pager set to:
> use Pager: Display a specified number of items | items

programmatically force the correct pager type from 'None' to 'Some':

in code somewhere around line 170

        //$view->pager = new \Drupal\views\Plugin\views\pager\None([], '', []);
          $view->pager = new \Drupal\views\Plugin\views\pager\Some([], '', []);
