Yes, looks good.  I'd go with

(when (and (member ..)
           (not (executable-find ...)))
   ...)

to have one layer of indentation less but that's just cosmetic.  And I'd
test for `TeX-command' instead of hard-coding "tex".  Or maybe even
better, just check the first word in `command' which has already been
expanded.

Not sure if that's worth the trouble.
