It depends what kind of problem we are talking about.

Problem within the kernel, making the kernel itself panic - yes, the reboot feature must be in the kernel itself. Current kernels have a CONFIG_PANIC_TIMEOUT setting that makes it reboot automatically.

Problem in Kobo's own software - not so much. The kernel is not having issues here, it's all in user space so user space can watch after itself.
