at the iem we are using the RME/hammerfall/hdsp/multiface cards with plain alsa (since jack turned out to be far too unreliable).
but i'm curious about your experience with jack ... is it a problem in the architecture of jack or the jack part of pd, that you have been thinking about?
hmm...unfortunately i have no real idea (it has been a while...) what i can say for sure, is that jack appeared to be too much an overhead when running big productions with few people (they are stressed anyhow, and adding an additional layer "jack" (with all these priority issues we had _then_...) would just have been too much sidenote: the people who were running the show were not really into the linux thing, so using linux itself was a stress-factor;
it furthermore didn't convince us to use jack for connecting an audio-application with a sound-card: i mean it is ok if you want to connect supercollider, pd, ardour, the soundcard, snd and mozilla; but just using it for the sake of it, doesn't sound too convincing.
