Not supported in REST 11.5.x.

In case of 12.1.1, the same endpoint you provided gives the response you're looking for: 

perf_SSL_total_TPS
. With that said, the 
/sys/license
REST endpoint is looking to be half-way done in terms of development. You're essentially supposed to dig as deep as 10 nested layers to extract this info.

Put on your digging gloves, and grab your best spade!

curl -ku 'admin:admin' -X GET https://172.16.99.92/mgmt/tm/sys/license?options=detail | jq .

{
  "entries": {
    "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/sys/license/0": {
      "nestedStats": {
        "entries": {
          "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/sys/license/0/features": {
            "nestedStats": {
              "entries": {
                "https://localhost/mgmt/tm/sys/license/0/features/active": {
                  "nestedStats": {
                    "entries": {
                      "perf_SSL_total_TPS[unlimited]"
