As I understand it, yes, but I may well be missing something in that piece. In particular, if everything works according to my current mental model, I have no idea how 8 kHz polling is supposed to succeed (I don't have anything faster than 1 kHz to test with).

I've been in that niche a few times, but I prioritize peripherals over CPU/GPU performance (and never regret it). It's usually feasible to do without the software.
I'm familiar with this problem because of a particular game that's heavily threaded and boosts itself to prio 13+ on most threads, so that it's tough to entirely get rid of the input loss even with a 6C12T CPU at 500 Hz polling. :(
