I think it actually only needs to be less that 10uS

The effect you can get with a system with poor stability but very strong
locking when incoming pulses are half way between the wanted times
(used to happen a lot with early discrete PLLs). The system will
alternately lock on the early and late pulses. The correction waveform
looks like a cog railway :)
