If you have plugins that could track such posts or can do it with GA4 or something like that, I'm sure it can help.

However, the feedback you'd get from users on what they're posting, their behavior in the post, and their loyalty to the post IMO paints a much better picture than the guessing games that comes with analytical metrics.

IMO, Feedback will always be the best metric.

Well, I haven't tracked SEO metrics for individual threads but I use Google Analytics to check my forum, I focus on metrics like engagement, new visitors, returning visitors, traffic location etc.
