Wait_template with dynamic timeout. Should this work?

If I want to implement a dynamic timeout in a wait_template, should this work?

      - wait_template: >
          {% set tnow = as_timestamp(now()) | int %}
          {% set timeout = states('input_number.wait_timeout') | int  %}
          {% if timeout != 0 %}
            {{
              is_state('sensor.some_sensor', 'some_state') or
              as_timestamp(now()) | int > tnow + timeout
            }}
          {% else %}
            {{ is_state('sensor.some_sensor', 'some_state') }}
          {% endif %}
