Hm I missed that, will fix.

This is not what happens, the worker subsystem spools up new threads
in that case. If you're worried about latency then use
system_unbound_wq. The only reason you want your own workqueue is if
you need to flush the entire queue (instead of individual work items)
maybe because you don't want to deadlock with random other work items
that run there. As long as all you do is run a single work item, you
can just flush that, so no concern. Iirc the worker subsystem even
internally merges the actual worker threads, so your own wq is just
book-keeping for queue flushes.

We can pick another one, but your own is imo still overkill. We don't
even do that in atomic helpers, and those hang out for at least a full
frame on the worker thread too. Thus far no screaming (but yeah it's
maybe not 80ms).
btw, can you give this a spin with your hw? Testing this stuff,
especially hotunplug and driver load would be really good.
