Maybe, maybe not. An ASAP provides a feedback loop into the system when there's an uncoordinated deviation from a clearance or exceeded limit. However, advising ATC that you're not going to put the aircraft at undue risk to accommodate unrealistic traffic management is just good airmanship IMO. "Unable", is a report really required for that?
