I bet you'd get a good approximation of hash rate if clients submitted their best (highest difficulty) hash every N minutes.  Over a period of a few hours the average of all of those best hashes should be proportional to the client's hash rate (unless a client were somehow repeatedly very lucky or unlucky, but that would be extremely unlikely). @p{par}
