Is this possible today (Feb 2020)?

This below code adds markup inside “submitdiv”. The div that holds Status, Visibility, Published on and Publish/Update button. I would like to add an ACF Checkbox field under those settings. Is this possible with some function, action or filter combination?

add_action( 'post_submitbox_misc_actions', 'wpse_45720_submitdiv_extra' );
//add_action( 'post_submitbox_start', 'wpse_45720_submitdiv_extra' );

function wpse_45720_submitdiv_extra()
{
    //print '<pre>' . current_filter() . '</pre>';
    echo '<div class="misc-pub-section misc-something" id="something">';
    echo '<p>Headline</p>';
    //ACF CHECKBOX FIELD HERE
    echo '<p>Some note under the ACF</p>';
    echo '</div>';
}

If it’s not possbile then perhaps just show the checked selections (with get_field) and inform the user that in order to change the selections scroll to the field group titled “Your checkboxes”.
