Yeah, this would probably work, but you should really set CPUAccounting=1 too, as an indirect way to ensure your unit appears in the "cpu"/"cpuacct" cgroup hierarchy in the first place. And I'd probably turn this into a proper shell script, that dynamically reads the path from /proc/self/cgroup and then propagates things up properly.
