Comment (by flixos90):

 Theoretically a definitive +1 for me, but we first need to decide how we
 are going to see network options in the future. There have been several
 discussions in Multisite weekly chat (latest discussion:
 https://wordpress.slack.com/archives/core-multisite/p1472575431000080), I
 hope we can come to a decision soon. At the moment for example, calling
 this parameter `meta_query` would be weird because this kind of data is
 commonly known as network ''options''.

 Btw the original patch for `WP_Network_Query` had this functionality, but
 it was stripped out for the above reasons. See
 https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/32504#comment:22 (for the patch,
 see https://core.trac.wordpress.org/attachment/ticket/32504/32504.4.diff).

 Also in order for this idea to work properly, we would need to use the
 Meta API for network options (at least internally, see #37181) so that
 cache invalidation works.
