One thing you can try is using the irqaffinity boot parameter to force interrupts onto your non-isolated cores: For timer interrupts you can try running in NO_HZ_FULL mode, but that may not work if you have other userspace processes running on those cores. It might be worth confirming that the interrupts are actually causing noticeable problems first before trying to move the interrupts.
