In practice I have found that interrupts are basically never lost.  The
only time I ever saw this happen was when the VIA Unichrome XAA (yep,
userspace!) driver had a FIFO related bug where it would temporarily
stall the PCI bus.

I guess I am wondering whether this would be worth implementing.  Do
you think the overhead of reading the wall clock register on every timer
interrupt is worth it?
