Correct.

kind of design is certainly possible in HIPS where for SSL traffic
keys can be uploaded,

Incorrect, in HOST intrusion prevention such artifice is not needed usually.

forward  the traffic to exploit/vulnerability specific rules. However
it will be computationaly expensive.

This is not really the problem. The problem is: do you really want to
store all of your keys on another device.
