D-bus is unimportant for me too. I don't know
if JACK1 nowadays
provide -Xalsarawmidi or if I still need it this day, but JACK2's
-Xalsarawmidi at least reduced MIDI jitter on my Linux machine, when
I needed it, that's why I used it to get "high performance".
jack1 has a similar implementation but for the ALSA sequencer API,
which means that (1) a2jmidid is no longer necessary (2) it can be
used used to communicate with other (ALSA MIDI using) applications,
not just hardware. As a user it's a bit frustrating that there are
other differences
between JACK1 and 2 apart from UP/SMP and dbus capability. There's
often some other trade off to consider when deciding which one to use.
For newbies the help/man page are a PITA, for example take a look at
JACK2. Some options are not only missing explanations, beyond that
the man page even doesn't mention all options shown by help.
For example:
[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ jackd --help|grep sync;man jackd|grep sync;info jackd|grep
sync
no message buffer overruns
no message buffer overruns
no message buffer overruns
[ --sync OR -S ]
It focuses on two key areas: synchronous execution of all clients, and low latency
operation.
-L --async-latency
Extra output latency in asynchronous mode (percent) (default: 100)
The socket port we are listening on for sync packets (default: 3000)
-t, --transport-sync int
info: No menu item 'jackd' in node '(dir)Top'.

[rocketmouse@archlinux ~]$ jackd --help|grep autoconnect -A6; man jackd|grep autoconnect

[ --autoconnect OR -a <modechar>]
where <modechar> is one of:
' ' - Don't restrict self connect requests (default)
'E' - Fail self connect requests to external ports only
'e' - Ignore self connect requests to external ports only
'A' - Fail all self connect requests
'a' - Ignore all self connect requests
