Would there be requirements on a specific version of LTTng?
I can see RHEL 7 comes with version 2.4.1, RHEL 8 has 2.8.1.

Are you sure you can draw such a line about perf?
You can add dynamic tracepoints with context in a live process (perf
probe/perf recordma), I used this to track where a variable was
getting updated once for a given device in OVS (and getting the number
of occurrences).
I know there are limitations with perf (some static variables not
being caught, can be tricky to trace inlines).
Maybe LTTng is better at this since you put markers in your code.
One thing of interest, I understand that LTTng does not require a
context switch when tracing.
That is an advantage over perf.
