Of course that is what we have.
E.g. on a prototype here at home:

ntpq -p
     remote           refid      st t when poll reach   delay   offset  jitter
==============================================================================
oPPS(0)          .PPS.            0 l    2   16  377    0.000    0.000   0.000
xSHM(0)          .GPS.            0 l    1   16  377    0.000    7.682   0.152
*SHM(1)          .PPS.            0 l   16   16  377    0.000    0.008   0.001

PPS(0) is a PPS input from a professional GPSDO connected to a COM port,
SHM(1) is another GPS receiver interfaced via gpsd.  Just to see how
close they get and remain.

Not Raspberry Pi (yet) but normal PC systems, but I know it is possible
to get the system time within the desired 12 microseconds.

Unfortunately that is not the same as performing some task like outputting
audio at an accuracy of 12us, but that is the next challenge :-)
