You might consider providing a local, more precise NTP server with
something like a small, fan-less Intel Atom system running FreeBSD and
synched across the network to your GPS time server. You might be able
to
keep a small box like that in a more temperature controlled
environment,
but even without it might provide a way of smoothing out any jitter due
to
your remote connection to the GPS server.
I'm not convinced that this would help. NTP reports a round trip time
of slightly more than 2 mS, which is very close to the two milliseconds
that ping sees, so it seems unlikely that the time server or intervening
network is the root cause.

No, I wasn't convinced either - hence it was just a suggestion. On the
systems here, though, the NTP delay shows around 0.25-0.75 msec to the LAN
servers.
Your other points noted.
Cheers,
David
