The whole Lemmings jumping from cliffs is a myth from a Disney film where they used a bulldozer to force the lemmings off the cliff. Lemmings on migration do sometimes try to cross rivers and die en mass, but it's nothing like the suicidal creatures portrayed in the 50s Disney movie.
The metaphor is useful, but it isn't from a real occurrence.
With that detail explained, I agree with your use of the metaphor.
