I tried this, but it (understandably) caused a delay whenever I typed j alone in insert mode

You can map both jk and kj to Esc, which will allow you to press both of them simultaneously. Then you can set your timeout quite low when in insert mode.

It only matters if you are tying "jj". If you are typing "just", it's just as fast and the "delay" is just visual.
