What's the general concensus on this one? Add it or not?

For me at least the whole contact time thing was only really needed for single ship contacts. Convoy radio reports were usually listed in the message box so by the time you dropped out of TC you'd be able to account for the lead time between when it was reported to when you started plotting.
You were never able to do that with single ship contacts, so had no method of accurately plotting an intercept since you had no idea where the ship actually was. This is now fixed, yay!
Contact time for hydrophone contacts or visual contacts isn't really needed I don't think, since you can always simply ask for an update or look/listen to see where they are. The contact time thing was always just for figuring out long range intercept lead time. It'd be cool to have I guess, but not required for me as a captain.
