If you are willing to add the due dates to the names of the checklist items, and can create a custom field (I am calling it "Logic Date") I know a workaround! It's relatively complex automation, but basically...you need to have a card created to represent the checklist item!
So, let's say you want a checklist item due on May 8th 2025 called "Do Something".
Name it "Do Something Due May 8th 2025". With this setup, you have to get the name right the first time. If you want to change the name or the due date, you have to remove the old checklist item and add a new one.
Here is an example automation:
when an item containing "{?} Due {* }" is added to a checklist,
set custom field "Logic Date" to "{wildcard2}"
set item due date on the date in custom field "Logic Date"
create a unique card with title "{wildcard1}" and description "{wildcard2}" in list "Checklist Calendar Items"
set custom field "Logic Date" to "{wildcard2}"
set due date on the date in custom field "Logic Date"
This is what that does:
When it sees a checklist item added with the pattern Something Due Something
Set the checklist item due date to the second Something
Create a card (if one doesn't exist) with named the first Something. Use the Second Something to set the due date on the card.
Now, you'll have a card with the checklist item due date, so it will show on your calendar with the name of the checklist item (minus the due date, since that's obvious by where on the calendar it is showing).
You could then make similar automations to handle the case when the checklist item is checked or removed. Find the card by the name and archive it.
If you want to be able to have multiple checklist items with the same name, then replace "new" card for "unique" card.
This kind of functionality isn't normally supported by Trello, which is why the workaround is a bit involved. However, I hope this helps you!
Thanks a lot- appreciate it. But that's quite involved. Thanks again.

@Rob Lathrop Completely understandable! Possible doesn't always mean practical, haha!
