I’m trying to improve my game by playing bots and eliminating the “missed mate” as much as possible. Unfortunately, sometimes it says I missed a mate that’s 6-10 moves deep, and I can’t see those yet. It would be helpful if the custom difficulty included a flag that said “forced mate detected in X” with a sliding scale for X, so the engine could assist me in seeing when a checkmate is within reach (but not how). Is that possible?

I'm sure it could be done but I think it would be very frustrating for you.
For example, in the position below, does it help you know there is a mate in 10?
The bot games do offer hints. Do you find those helpful?
