this seems like a weird strawman proposal compared to e.g. freezing timers during execution of untrusted code / reducing the resolution of any remaining ones to ms levels
Freezing timers does not work. What are you going to do, warp wall clock time forever? Reducing resolution does not work, that's what the paper explains (you can amplify any effect). And you can always make a timer out of a thread and busyloops.
