To me this seems like decently "analogue".

5.8 ms is workable, but not good. At 8 ms, you find yourself pushing a little with vocals, which sounds bad & makes you tire quickly. You will also be playing your instrument too hard, sometimes even (subconsciously) playing ahead of the pocket, to compensate. This has been documented many times, by many good musicians & engineers. This is really not subject to discussion, even though the vast majority of "musicians" don't get it.
The same would happen if, with analog, your floor monitor is 8' away from your ears.
IMO, 6 ms, is JUST BARELY workable, but far from ideal.
If monitoring "through the DAW" while recording, the goal should be 5 ms or less, IMO.
