I do not know about what timings are required, but they should only matter during initial device setup. The HCI traffic is actually driven by the Bluetooth core.

I actually tried to convert it to workqueue... result is below but I
was not successful.

h4p driver actually has one long-running, mostly sleeping, thread and
communicates with it by sending it wakeups; the thread toggles some
power management options based on activity. (No, I don't like that
design). That is not something that can be easily converted to
workqueue, AFAICT.

I don't think other Bluetooth drivers do anything similar.
