Yes, it requires a server that supports ssh protocol version 2.
Of course, if you care about security, you'll be running a recent
version of the ssh server, and will be avoiding the use of version 1 of
the ssh protocol because of its known, documented weaknesses.
Additionally, those two configuration items aid in improving the
security of the ssh protocol by making session hijacking attempts less
effective.
As you said, it does require you to have some influence over the
configuration of the ssh daemon.
Alternatively, you can use the ProtocolKeepAlive option at the ssh
client end, but this doesn't have the same benefits as using the
ClientAliveInterval option does.
