The latency is not only caused by the packetization; the transmission chain looks like:

(microphone -> ADC -> encoding -> BT transmission) -> (BT reception -> decoding) -> (SIP + encoding -> IP transmission) -> (IP reception -> SIP + decoding) -> (DAC -> loudspeaker)

True enough, but the ADC, encoding, decoding and DAC elements can be reduced to <3ms (as happens with some of the best recent digital radio mics), which does indeed indicate that the intermediate stages are the ones that really do the harm.

A while back I had to make a short range speech reinforcer for a friend with a damaged larynx. It had to use an analogue pathway because no (affordable at the time) digital path had anything like low enough latency to permit normal, unstilted conversation. A target figure ~has~ to be <10ms to avoid disturbing speech, and for most people/environments must be <<5ms. I find it laughable that "low latency" frequently seems to mean 30-50ms.
