Short answer: No.
Long answer: Noooooooooooooooo.
The Incarnate trees as they are now offer a pretty good balance (at least IMHO). The Tier 3 abilities are relatively easy to get offering about 75% of the effectiveness of a Tier 4 at about 25% of the cost. Adding a fifth tier to the powers would just make the entire system a LOT more grindy.

Kinda the point, it would be awesome, and something else to do.

If they did add a tier 5, I dont see why you'd narrow it back down a single point. Currently, you can choose 1 of 2 end points ( or both if you really enjoy the grinding ).

To get the benefits of both sides. Why add incarnate stuff at all except to make people over powered?

I dislike the idea of adding a yet longer grind to be "done" with a power, and I dislike the idea of the diminished variety that a single t5 combining both t4 effects would have, and I dislike the idea of widening the gap between "good enough" t3 powers and "the best" powers.
In short, I think it would be annoying as a player, and would also dilute or diminish some of the best features of the current system. In return... bigger numbers, I guess? Pros aren't really outweighing the cons for me over here.

If you're bored with the current content, adding only a T5 wouldn't change that. It would only make you continue to have to do the stuff you're bored with to get a new thing. There's a difference between something new to do and something new to get. Maybe what you're looking for is new content. Have you tried rolling a new character? Maybe a different AT and/or power set you haven't done yet?
Would be cool if at some point, maybe before omega, maybe after to get tier 5's. The tree looks like its missing a spot anyway at the top. Would be a diamond pattern instead of a flat top.

And the tier 5 slot can be a mix of both tier 4 powers combined.
