I'd say no. Kolide is one such attempt, and their practices, and how it's used in companies, are as insidious as those from a proprietary product. As a user, it gives me no assurance that an open source surveillance rootkit is better tested and developed, or that it has my best interests in mind.
The problem is the entire category of surveillance software. It should not exist. Companies that use it don't understand security, and don't trust their employees. They're not good places to work at.
