Prometheus was another option but millisecond-precise timestamps are a deal breaker in my field.

That makes sense -- have you taken a look at M3DB (https://www.m3db.io/)?

Curious, would microseconds suffice? Or are we talking about higher precision still?

Just like the sibling comment indicated, we (HFT, algo trading) need nanosecond precision for some metrics.
