This is no longer true. Generic kernels contain more or less the
entire RT-PREEMPTION patch set these days, and will function at least
well as the so-called low-latency kernel. If you want to do better,
you need the "RT" kernel provided by your distro, not the "low
latency" one.
Just for reference, I'm running the stock Debian Bookworm
kernel
(non-RT, non-low-latency) using a USB audio card, and it's providing
10.7ms latency. That was true on my old laptop (Intel i9, 64GB RAM) and
my new desktop (Ryzen 9950X, 128GB RAM). Both were configured for
on-demand, using JACK, with PulseAudio feeding into JACK.
