I haven't compared the two solutions personally, but MISTer is said to have less latency than emulators.

  This is true but depending on personal preference/perception and usecase it might not matter. If you really care about latency for twitchy old-school games, a MiSTer (or a real Amiga!) and CRT monitor would be ideal.

  It's not so much the emulators that have latency, it's the platforms they run on that have mostly been optimized for throughput and battery life for the past ~20 years. It's possible to get low latency on modern systems, but it requires relatively advanced and often non-portable techniques to fight the system's attempts at "efficiency". Where FPGA really shines is in producing a consistent timing model and the associated performance quirks (such as slowdown in video games).
