No they won't.

I don't mean this cynically, every test I've seen with a feature like that has had _very_ low engagement.*

This is the problem with features that "get out of the way" - they are underused and the intended value is lost.

It's a conundrum, because I totally agree in terms of interaction design but what good is a (well designed or not) feature that isn't used?

Maybe those users simply aren't interested enough in your product? I think adding a simple note "click on the labels to see a demo" should be enough discoverability.
Any UX designer will tell you that users don't read notes.
