Is PipeWire still unusable for Pro Audio in 2026? Is it even aiming for that?

I check every 6 months, and always find that my Focusrite Clarett+ 4Pre XRUNs at like "15ms" buffer sizes and below, while Windows handles "2.5ms" just fine on the same machine.

https://wiki.archlinux.org/title/Professional\_audio notes that pipewire might not be usable for pro audio, but the linked discussion is from 2023.

What's your experience? Should anyone aspiring to use Linux for music production just stick to JACK?
