I was planning on getting an additional play 1 for the kitchen, which is in earshot of the living room. It's a open layout. Living room has 5.1 set up. I have heard that there is a 70ms delay adding extra speakers or rooms. Will this create a problem trying to play all speakers at once?

Only if you will hear all the speakers at the same time. Earshot is a relative term, but if you can normally hear the living room 5.1 system, why get an extra speaker? If you can't hear it normally, than the 70ms delay won't be an issue.

And it's important to note we're only talking about the TV input. When playing a music stream, all of these speakers will be in sync.
