I don't see why. The faster the better IMHO.
Just in case an edit is not vandalism or at least not entirely. A new
user wanting to add a comment and accidentally blanking the page
should of course be reverted, but the comment should also be
implemented in the page. The bot couldn't do that, it would just
revert the edit.

What about:
-The bot detects a to-be-reverted edit
-It is noticed to a irc channel
-People at irc can check and revert it at the moment, or send the bot a
command to unqueue it.
-After an hour, the bot reverts it if there weren't subsequent edits.
FYI, bots can and do place messages on talk pages, so in that case it
could give 'Please don't blank pages. If you wish to nominate for
deleteion, put {{delete|reason}} For help go to [[Help desk]]'
