Setting up international Advisory Boards might undermine the credibility of the supervisor, and it is also not a great message with regard to the professional experience/ independence of the postdoc. Usually, in a Postdoctoral Fellowship there is discourse with other colleagues at the host institution in lab meetings, etc. that can be seen as a good monitoring mechanism.
However, International Advisory Boards can be positively assessed by evaluators in cases involving high levels of interdisciplinarity or very risky research or when the supervisor has limited mentoring experience.
