Hmm I never felt any advantage using RT kernels, either, at least in the recent years, so I wonder if they still have any advantage in 2020 ? And that's not a rhetorical question, I really wonder what contemporary use cases for RT kernels in the audio world are. I feel like these kernel-tuning approaches date back to times when desktop responsiveness etc. were much more serious issues. Might be wrong here, of course.
