Why would this be considered too late?
Based on RTL8152_TX_TIMEOUT, there are about 5 seconds to
wake the queue or update the timestamp before a TX timeout occurs.
I believe 5 seconds should be sufficient.

If there is no TX submission for 5 seconds after the driver stops the queue,
then something is already wrong.
