Yes and then some. I had a 75 gal vert that the frogs spent more than half their time at the top half of the tank. Not all dart frogs are terrestial.
It might just be an awesome set up for them...
Day geckos would be another good idea.
leachies are also known as new caladonian giant geckos they are big, about 2 ft and can look "ugly" to some but to me they are awesome

chewies are better known as chahoua geckos are like cresties but bigger and they have big cute eyes

I also forgot gargoyle geckos
they are also very cool and have identicle care to cresties
chewies and leachies will cost you more and so will high end crestie and gargoyle morphs but cresties and gargoyle geckos are much more easy to find

My vote is on Dart Frogs... all species will explore upward on plants... many species will prefer to spend most/all of their time above ground levels...
While Kearth is going to disagree with me on this one, I've talked to quite a few people who have kept/bred Pygmy Chameleons and Dart Frogs together long term...

I've done a ton of "research" on PDFs in the last year or so. They are so msall and fragile there isn't much that can mix with them at all. Most "Dart Frog Hobbyists" will strongly advise you do not mix them with any other animals... and you do not mix species... and with most species you only keep one male and one female...
Then there are plenty of people who have kept them with a little more relaxed "musts"... and many of these people have done just fine.
I wouldn't risk mixing them with anything large enough to threaten to eat them. I've been shopping around for small growing salamanders that would enjoy the same temperature range (72~80*F) but haven't had any luck. Most like colder temps and most grow to large.
My personal limitation has also been an animal that shares a food source (springtails and wingless fruit flies with occasional newly hatched cichlid fry).
So far, Pygmy Chameleons are the only thing I've found...
But your tank would be able to hold several P.Chams as well as a decent group of frogs.
I strongly support the intent to avoid creating & distributing hybrid frogs... but I see no reason why someone cannot logically choose species that could peacefully coexist and not distribute offspring born in that tank...
I'm picturing an over the top water feature with several small/shallow "ponds", a few little/shallow "streams"... elaborately planted... Consider a "false bottom" which creates a resivior in the bottom...
The trick is to make the planted tank in and of itself something beautiful to look at... then the animals in the tank are like gems on a crown

Except for Pygmies will not thrive on just fruit flies. They need a decent size cricket which will stress the frogs.
And then you run into - Pygmies need ventalation and need to dry out in between misting and darts need constants humidty.
Nutcase - i could not let you down and not disagree with with
