No. But almost nothing talks MIDI-over-OSC, it is just a gimmick. ipMIDI is
more widely used, but as usual there are competing standards for MIDI over
ethernet and ipMIDI is actually the lesser used of the two - I forget the
name of the other one.

Not constrained. JACK MIDI has essentially instantaneous transmission
between clients. When talking to external hardware, the timing is dictated
by the device driver API being used.
