An email? If they can breach your phone, surely email is the least trustworthy mechanism you can use - it’s high latency, shared across systems, etc
A better mechanism would surely be a push notification to the device, or one of the alert-based notifications used for earthquakes etc

I’m not sure if that capability relies on the devices not already being activated or not, but I’ve seen credible screenshots of the message when iPhones are so disabled. If I got a message in my iPhone saying it had been remotely disabled, I would take it to an Apple Store or authorized Apple Service Center, where they could tell me what should happen next. This would be inconvenient, to be sure, but it would be preferable to continuing to use the device.
