Given how much timing jitter we have now, I can only imagine how bad it would be if we ran a non-RTOS.

Or how bad the boot times would be.

The key to getting good execution timing and RT performance is to reduce overhead. Going to a non-RTOS without a real-time coprocessor would just be terrible for timing and performance.
