Not sure what you mean by a crossover cable here but probably not whatever
I am thinking :)

I can't speak for the latency, some of that would be jack (if used) on
either end but some may also be network. How local is the LAN? how many
switches/routers does the signal go through? how busy is the LAN? Is
wireless involved? Are there any old style hubs? Is there any traffic
shaping going on?

I do not know if this is any better than ipmidi (QmidiNet) but there was
an announcement last month:
https://lists.linuxaudio.org/archives/linux-audio-announce/2020-April/002798.html
https://github.com/davidmoreno/rtpmidid/releases

rtpmidi is compatable with the built in rtmidi in MacOs/osx etc.
