Is it possible to write an extension to pciback to load a module specific to that h/w? It could be a new driver for that hardware that operates by itself for reading these statistics from the nic...

Does the pciback or some API can enable the read of ethtool-like
statistics?

These stats are h/w specific so generally only the driver within the
guest would know how to extract them.
