Yes.

I think it should be OK, because it would only return elapsed time for a
very short time between starting QEMU process on the destination host
and actually starting the migration. Well, the time could be longer if
storage migration is involved, but there is still a significant part of
migration for which getting the statistics on the destination host
fails. So anyone doing that should already be able to cope with the
failure :-)
