Haven't read the whole thing, but do any of these stats really
need to execute on the target CPU? They seem to be just readable
fields.

Or does it simply not matter because this proc call is too infrequent?

Anyways global broadcasts are discouraged, there is typically
always someone who feels their RT latency be messed up by them.
