but, but, but ... the RPi is meant for tinkering, isn't it?
I got an RPi2 connected to a GPSDO acting as time server. Another RPi2 controls test&measurement gear via GPIB (there are GPIB hats, but I happen to have already an USB adapter from Agilent), RS485 (near trivial, self-made hat) and TTL output for synchronization (trigger). A RPi2 is plenty of computational power for those applications.
