Yeah, a foodcritic rule would be nice. I was poking around in foodcritic recently and found that it doesn't detect some types of attribute access[0], so fixing that would be a good starting point. 

We intend to fix this for Chef 11, with the intention of allowing more logic (especially computed/derived attribute values and platform-specific attribute values) in attributes files so any foodcritic rule ought to branch on Chef version above/below 11.0.

FYI: added https://github.com/acrmp/foodcritic/issues/82 for the nested node attributes issue specifically
