And I forgot to mention that almost all professional audio interfaces are UAC compliant these days.

Standard USB Audio class works, but do the professional sound interfaces? Eg. Focusrite Scarlett 18i20 mk3?

For USB audio: Excellent. Be it the cheap 7.1 card or the professional DJ controller; PulseAudio or JACK, it works. All 8 channels, LEDs, input/output (both microphone, line and S/PDIF) and even the buttons work. And it goes down to ~2ms latency (sometimes lower than my HDA!).
For wireless audio: I have never tried, as I do not own any wireless audio devices. Lossy codecs and higher latency irk me (heck, several companies claim to have achieved 60ms over Bluetooth, but that's nothing when compared to 5ms (or less) over cable).

Focus on latency is good and with any clean up I hope for more or maintained robustness. E.g. use two USB sound cards, use an USB soundcard for playback and a webcam with a video stream and a sound capture stream and pull either one while in use.

How's your Linux USB and wireless audio support been working out these days with recent devices and different desktops / audio back-ends? The situation is certainly much improved from in the past, but let us know in the forums if you are still encountering any Linux audio oddities.

Okay... but why would you use JACK on such hardware?

I use a Soundblaster X G5 on USB. The volume and correct input is not remembered by the system.
So I wrote a little python script to do this for me.

Try using JACK on it. It will be impossible.
