I understand that every time you read the system timer, it is incremented by
one in order to provide a unique number. If true, it would seem that lots of
reads of the timer would throw off the accuracy.
Is this indeed the case, is there any other way to access a real-time counter?

You'd have to try real hard to read the counter often enough to create a
problem.
And yes, you can use the timer device to allocate and use your own private
timer on one of the CIAs (8520s).
