I know that didn’t help much...

I would guess that on some bodies it might be possible to spot volcanism on the nightside, tho’ on many thick cloud layers would obscure such.

On Jupiter I’m thinking lightning has been spotted.

Then you have the occasional meteor, meteorite, or even rarely a comet impact.

Ah, but no locals, no aliens, no signs of light-polluting civilizations? :)

To image a planet from its night side on a single pass probe would generally provide very little information and would be seen as a waste of resources. The Cassini probe orbited Saturn so it certainly had views of the night side.
