Correct - my client InSim already reports it. It's basically set whenever someone is lagging enough to show the "Lag X.Xs" and make the car invisible. I believe there are some other occasions where it is set as well - probably due to missing/late non-position packets. However, I don't know what happens when the server itself is lagging as that's somewhat harder to test for.

The tricky part is to make sure the kick isn't too sensitive - it's quite common for the odd packet to go missing (it is UDP after all) so we only want to kick for genuine problems.
