I wouldn't really say that splunk is time-series in the same way they wanted. It's mainly logs indexing, but not the kind of aggregation you'd want from numeric, labelled metrics.

We use it exactly for this, works great.

Do you use the new metrics store? I just learned they have one now in the new versions.

No we don't use metrics store.

That doesn't really sound like a cost effective way of doing metrics... The amount of data you license from splunk is likely quite expensive compared to a dedicated metrics system, right?
