sure one could.  but there is no user space, so this would need
to be bespoke code.

i'm surprised that running one extra raspberry pi only when working
would make much of a difference.  the total cost couldn't be much
more than 10w, even with the power supply losses.  the monitor likely
uses much more power.

perhaps high-efficiency wall warts could make up much of the difference.
