ADHDer here. The problem I frequently run into is that I don't stop to consider things. I don't, for example, stop to think "should I really be doing this right now?" when I'm hyper-focused on solving some interesting problem. Pomodoro-like techniques are really helpful because it is basically a "stop and evaluate what you're doing" reminder that goes off every 20 minutes.
So to answer your question, I think I would be happy for the reminder. But I would have to be careful not to build the habit of dismissing the clock, which would undo the point entirely.
