I never used Flask, but most of python web framework provide an easy/quick way of setting up a web application server. So I'd say Flask is just fine.
What concerns me is the telnet protocol you plan to use for remote execution. Do you have any other options ? are you trying to execute on a remote unix like system ?

Anyway if you must stick with telnet, I don't see anything wrong in your plan, Flask + telnetlib should do the trick.
