I think your proposal is a good (maybe even excellent) one, but it somewhat sidesteps the issue (which may be the best thing to do). Rather than answering the question "how best to allow regular users access to SCHED_FIFO", it says "lets offer regular users SCHED_ISO which is essentially identical to SCHED_FIFO unless tasks running SCHED_ISO use too much cpu time".
its a fine answer, but its the answer to a slightly different question. if anyone (maybe us audio freaks, maybe someone else) comes up with a reason to want "The Real SCHED_FIFO", the original question will have gone unanswered.
