I'd wager that a latency of a couple hours is unacceptable for almost all TTS use cases.
Moreover, the current generation of TTS is pretty good and a lot of research is being done to improve it. You'd have a very finite amount of time to build your service and get users before the big players have got TTS that has caught up and doesn't have an enormous latency/require paying human wages.
