Should still be disabled by default even if supported:
# grep HRTICK kernel/sched/features.h SCHED_FEAT(HRTICK, false)

Hence why its disabled, programming the timer hardware is too expensive. But since you didn't even know that I suspect you aren't in fact using it.
It would be good if you could do what Thomas suggested and look at which timer is actually active during your workload.
