Of course, but to be clearer: doing that with nm-online does NOT work.
In my case (network boot), nm-online terminates BEFORE the default gateway
is reachable.
The network-online.target which nm-online is before only says that the interface has a
configured ip address.
It does not test connectivity.
Having said that I am very surprised that the gateway is not reachable.
At least in small networks the gateway is the same host that is the dhcp server and thus
will be reachable.
What you are doing with waiting until you can access the remote host seems like the
required solution.

As a consequence downloading the install image
(Server/x86_64/os//images/install.img) fails.
My workaround is to replace nm-online by a loop waiting for the gateway to be
reachable.
