It's just crazy even to try to reach hard real time requirements with
a cooperative rtos. Even a 10Hz task (100ms sharp, or ok take it with 
a +100us jitter). Unless your system has almost nothing to do and waits
for the 100ms to schedule the "hard" real time task...

Good enough is another thing. The interrupt can meet the hard real time
requirement. I'm using such systems for almost twenty years. Hard realtime
only with interrupts. Anything else is soft real-time with cooperative
tasks.
