Wasn't this check added to avoid possible desync issues?

I don't think so, since HP will be synchronized when using setElementHealth in onClientPedDamage

HP is synchronized, but a remote player can die locally. It can cause nasty issues potentially

Fixes #472
The crash was caused by the fact that for peds other than the local player, the current HP value wasn’t being updated. As a result, the code tried to kill a ped who still had 1 HP, which, due to an invalid pointer, caused a crash. However, this leads to another side effect: due to the ped being recreated, the ped pointer becomes invalid, so the ped never dies with such code.
For the local player, it works differently, and the player dies normally. For other players, they’re likely immortal in the same way as non-player peds but i'm not sure.
In any case, recreating the ped in setElementHealth causes a chain of additional bugs and unexpected behaviors. This PR aims to eliminate the crash but doesn’t address the underlying issue with ped recreation
