yes - it is on our todo-list. The idea would be to expose the
information of layer visibility in the GetCapabilities response - but
the hard thing is to do this in a way that is conformant with the WMS
standard - it probably means to introduce another vendor-specific
extension. Any ideas how to solve it?

this is currently not possible. Any idea how to achieve this in a
generic and transparent way? I guess one way would be that again we add
a vendor-specific extension and mark those specific layers. QGIS
webclient would hide these layers in the tree but always add them in the
GetMap request. But then these layers would always be visible and the
user wouldn't have any control ...
