From a theoretical perspective, this is absolutely not true. Asynchronous logic can achieve much lower latency guarantees than synchronous logic.
Come to think of it, this is one of the few places where asynchronous logic might be more than academic... Async logic is hard with complex control flows, which deep learning inference does not have.
(From a practical perspective, I know you were comparing to independently-clocked logic, rather than async logic)
