You hit the point
*I also admit that I think the risk of non-compliance in EM is
unfortunately another reason to look elsewhere for an Oracle monitoring
solution.*
That is in our 99% customer management's mind and that is why I am looking
something else as well. In fact the last 3, 4 customer I have been in this
last year preferred third party tool to monitor Oracle Databases.
Thanks

IIRC, the OP posted they were licensed with the T+G Packs, which according
to https://docs.oracle.com/cd/E73210_01/OEMLI/GUID-B7FDEFFE-
DECB-4826-A3C8-7660B013C5DE.htm#GUID-C77F69CA-DD9A-4789-A1CF-0F2864F4A9AB
would include the MGMT$METRIC_% views that could be used for reporting,
custom or otherwise.
I have to admit I did not know that. Thankfully, we also have all
databases licensed for the T+G Packs. I also admit that I think the risk
of non-compliance in EM is unfortunately another reason to look elsewhere
for an Oracle monitoring solution.
