To better measure actual drift one has to use really good LPF, which means they have a pretty big delay. So, it doesn't make sense to use a very good sample rate conversion because we learn bout the drift well AFTER it occurs. Good sample rate conversion makes sense only if clock frequencies of

Sure, the bigger is the Q factor of an oscillator, the less tunable it is. Its tunability depends also on the resonance mode number, actual material, the way it was cut and G-d knows what else. Look at the following analogy: you have, say, parallel LC loop with VERY stable L and C. Then you
