No. To be online compatible this relies on take particle systems off things and making them produce a range circle, units don't have that. Not only do they not have them, there are a ton of things that affect their range and there's no way to update the radius on the fly.
Also, they'd always be on, this would be really laggy because there are so many units. The game's renderer struggles enough as it is without adding to it.

Would be ugly, am not sure if worth.

TCs: can be done, but would be wrong after fortified TCs. Also, it would have side effects of showing a radius around certain other unrelated things. There are two choices: it looks like this would affect:

Lighthouse
Monument to Gods
A bunch of stuff that isn't used in random maps but could be in custom games (torches, mostly)
Qilin

OR

Dock (the attack radius is unfortunately different)
Monument to Gods
Most of the same bunch of non-RM things

Towers: Mirror towers can be done, but normal ones cannot.

Hmm. I could look into doing that...

The only way this is possible without breaking online compatibility is by replacing an existing particle system - I haven't looked, but this almost certainly doesn't exist on towers, making it impossible to keep online compatible.

On top of that, unless there are different particle systems on upgraded forms I can't make it reflect range upgrades.

All in all if I were to do this it'd be a different mod you could run alongside this one - I can imagine some people not wanting something that can sometimes be wrong!
