I don't think it would fly. Google would just argue you agreed to that in the terms of service. Plus it would be slower and more expensive than just getting Google to reinstate your access, even if you had to fly there in person to beg them.

and any judge can tear that to shreds if they are sympathetic to the implementation

Any idea where I should go to do that?

I've been unable to access my google account for over two years. Their automated processes are never able to confirm my identity, and any humans I do manage to communicate with tell me to use the automated systems.

I don't even care about my dignity any more, I'll beg for it back in person.

But wouldn't they just delay the process, appealing forever?

Wouldn't they just take a look at your account before deciding on their court battle strategy?

And years later in court you might get access maybe not.

Or just go with an email provider that isn't auditing your behaviour
