Unfortunately, doing this completely wipes the player's inventory and progress, forcing them to start from scratch. This feels highly punishing for issues that are completely outside of the player's control (such as minor ISP drops or client freezes).
To fix this, I suggest having the client periodically sync and verify inventory data with the server, or implementing a short "reconnect grace period" that preserves player state on the server for a few minutes after a disconnect. This would prevent players from losing all your progress due to a single bad connection spike and make the overall experience much more resilient and fair.
