You've obviously never tried it. If you ever do, the issues will become clear very rapidly.

No, I haven't, and probably never will.
But I do know people that have, and may have an idea or two. And will know if your use case truly cannot be served by the current standard, showing a gap in the standard.
And I know something about schedulers in operating systems (and in big radars for that matter), and observe that people do manage to do realtime and non-realtime in the same box, quite often actually.
One way is the have the GUI et al running non-realtime, and the time-critical software run under various realtime policies and priorities, with the time-critical stuff limited so it cannot completely squeeze the GUI et al out.
The full-strength version of that is to have the entire non-realtime world running in a virtual machine under the RT system.
So, I'm trying to figure out exactly what's going on in your application. But I'll stop if you wish.
