I do not think it would be valid, no. I think there are several
ways that mismatched timeouts could lead to problems, exactly
the same problems that led to the existing specification
requiring confirming the Advertisement Interval.

By the way, I've been talking as if there's an existing concept
of "timeout interval", but actually it would be an addition.
Master_Down_Interval would be Timeout_Interval + Skew_Time.
And while Advertisement_Interval would be configurable, as we've
agreed, it would be limited to being no greater than
Timeout_Interval / 3.
