If you manually use the jack latency tools to measure and inform JACK of the input and output latency of your outboard gear (with the -I and -O options), then Non Timeline will use this information when calculating its adjustment.
Latency compensation isn't magic. It is basically a lot of complicated bookkeeping resulting in a value for an offset to the playback (the reverse of a delay) of individual tracks in the timeline. It will only work properly if all of the information that goes into this calculation is accurate. Sometimes plugins lie about their actual latency, and so you may have to compensate for things like that. It is very complicated in practice and I can't tell you if a given situation would work without knowing all the specifics.
