Gag. I always hated dealing with DMA controllers.
I think I have a solution with the gates. It is old school but I really don’t
have to have the Pi do anything but insert that one single bit at an 8 Khz rate.

Your other option would be to find a way to setup an internal DMA controller to
trigger off of an external input. From your clock source, you would trigger
individual DMAs from a static buffer to GPIO connected to some sort of circuit
to invert the Mark bits. The DMA controller would loop over the buffer and the
jitter would be limited to that of your 1.544 MHz reference clock source. For
Raspberry PI, you might be looking at writing a kernel driver/module assuming
you can find documentation on the CPU and DMA controllers. Might be easier with
an STM32 like CPU (small, cheap, and potentially Linux free if you are into
that sort of thing).

1/4 microsecond is too much jitter?
I don't think the pi is going to be your solution.
