Everything looks fine, and jackd claims it has realtime mode.  I've
been away from Linux audio for a while, but doesn't realtime mode mean
RT scheduling?  If I check the process's scheduler policy and
priority, it is NOT RT:


it is not the main jackd process which is set to realtime class (FF) but one of its threads

[paul@watt ~]$ ps -p 20370 -o cmd,class,pri,rtprio
CMD                         CLS PRI RTPRIO
/usr/bin/jackd --realtime - TS   19      -


you should rephrase the ps command line with the -L switch (list light-weight threads), like so
    ps -p <PID> -L -o tid,class,pri,rtprio,cmd
or, generically
    ps -Leo pid,tid,class,pri,rtprio,comm | egrep "(PID|jackd)"
