as jeremy mentioned, i have no idea what this is supposed to help. it has
nothing fundamentally to do with realtime at all.

this is not true. http://jackaudio.org/realtime_vs_realtime_kernel

you *must* get these permissions correct BUT at the same time, i have no
idea why this script is trying to set the RT priority of PID 0, which is
typically init(1), the program that starts a Unix system running.

not necessarily relevant. required in cases where the kernel and h/w are
cooperating (badly) to prevent low latency operation, but many people have
systems where this is not required.
