I recently discovered Julian Krause's Youtube channel. He does exhaustive analyses of audio interfaces and gives all the performance specs you can never get from the manufacturer. Below is his review of the AudioFuse 16 Rig. There's a chart at 22:13 that shows RTL of 8.1ms (389 samples) at 48kHz with 64-sample buffer - okay, but not great. The MOTU Ultrlite MK5 I was looking at recently did 6.9ms in his testing. But I'll be sticking with my trusty old PCIe-based MOTU that does 4.5ms (217 samples). USB is always slower; I'm not sure whether the generation of the USB bus matters that much.
USB 3.1
Only usable for tracking though, mixing where plugins get added I go with higher buffer sizes.
With 96kHz and a 128-sample buffer it sits at 7.7ms
