Wow, the latency looks really bad. You would think that by August 2017 we would be down to sub-frame latency for stylus input. At this point, I would rather use a stylus with a cord if it meant shaving off 10ms. As is, it's just unusable. I know for people that have been in the tablet-input world for a while, 50ms sounds reasonable, but hand this to a kid, and they'll start drawing all over the screen, waiting for the lines to catch up.

I'll be interested in this when the latency and DPI can keep up with the pace of natural handwriting.

What if the display sub system organized the screen into partitions and prioritized the redraws based on which partition the input was happening in? If that's where the eye is focused, then maybe any artifact from refresh-neglect in the periphery would go unnoticed.
