In the Tasks tab: instead of just "Running", could we display the CPU % and memory usage of the task?

Why?
Even with the Advanced view, that would just make things way too cluttered for little if any benefit for most users.

For those that do want that sort of detail in the Manager, then BOINC Tasks is the way to go.

you can install BOINCTasks for showing CPU usage. But i would use just the OS taskmanager when there are any questions.

A 2nd vote for ditching BOINC Manager and using BOINCTasks.
