Nope
No and never seen anyone else do it either.

No. Most lenses have the scale on the top and bottom of the barrel. If I have to I simply take the lens out and set it, then replace. Lenses often shift around a little on the board so I don't know how accurate marking the board would be.

Not yet but I need to
Good idea!
Factory installed lenses and boards were pinned with a tiny screw so the lens could not rotate. However many have changed that on used lenses and lost the screw....
Copy cameras often had a huge f stop scale with long pointer
I have one!

... but what I do use...
When shooting speed graphic handheld, using an Optar lens in Graphex shutter, is a Wollensak hood that also controls the aperture. Best invention ever for a LF press photographer!
