I would love to play in such tournaments where I could really think about every move and have a long, fun game against my opponents.
I don't think it will be implemented, for a very simple reason:
Let's say we create such a tournament, with 1 day/move. Let's assume an average game length of 40 moves, and let's say that each player takes an average time of 6 hours to make his move (so 2 moves by each player/day). To get a significant ranking, let's assume we need 10 matches for the top players (I think it should rather be around 25-30 matches, but let's say 10). With 2 moves/day, a match takes in average 20 days to complete, x 10 (number of matches) = 200 days. The tournament must last at least 6 months, when the longest tournaments currently last 24 hours at best. That also means that players must come on a daily basis on the site to play their move, for 6 months. I guess a very few amount of people would willingly play a tournament this long.
With this duration length such tournaments will probably never appear on the site. The best way to play long games is probably to create correspondence games on the main page.

Perhaps this is something for you: lichess.org/team/correspondence-league
