In contrast with sibling comments, I think it would be just fine. VIM was designed for high latency, and even the modern versions do pretty well with a second or two of lag. Issue a command, wait for the response.

The big thing is not depending on the screen keeping in perfect sync with your typing. I know this causes an issue for me when it's related to talking - an echo off by a hundred or more milliseconds will absolutely throw me off the rails - but it doesn't bother me so much when typing. A mental relic of writing code in terminals connected to distant servers, I'm sure.
