Is this the price Fauna pays for its consistency guarantees?

No it's not, that price is far far smaller and should not impact pure reads. This is probably an artifact of an anti-pattern where the same documents are constantly updated which creates significant history. At this point, that can have an impact on the index. We are working on optimizing that in which case history will no longer have an impact on these latencies while retaining the possibility to go back in time or get changesets.
