For what it's worth, the Amazon Linux 2 4.14.x kernel also ships with
CONFIG_HZ=250. We obviously don't need to use the same settings, but
that kernel specifically targets cloud deployments, and its maintainers
do not see a need to set CONFIG_HZ=100.
I don't know what considerations were taken into account when choosing
the value for that variable at AWS.
