I've been told it cancels out for WAN clients when you run a > stratum 2 server, but not for a stratum 1 server on an asymmetrical link. Call that 1 ms. The clock will appear to be off by 1/2 ms. You can probably measure that, but asymmetric routing is likely to add bigger errors. You might be able to fudge your GPS to compensate for the network asymmetry. I don't know of anybody who has done that. -- These are my opinions.
