It does, e.g. Compat directs directly to elpa.gnu.org:
https://elpa.gnu.org/packages/doc/compat/compat.html

It just renders them in HTML, I don't know of any .info files being
available outside of the tarballs.

Something similar I had in mind was a variation on package-install that
wouldn't persist the installation, and instead of extracting the files
into .../elpa/, would store them in a /tmp/ sub-directory. That would
go further than what you are describing, but would make trying out a
package easier.
