It doesn't matter if you get an occasional "red light" as long as it sounds good. I have a regular jam partner, using the same interface as you, and a Windows 10 Surface. During sessions I often see we are BOTH fla$ng red but in my ears it's fine.
Jitter is essentially your computer + interface slipping out of sync. One thing that can contribute to this issue is too much load on your I/O. If you have your Focusrite connected to a hub with other devices (a common scenario), you will increase jitter.
Even when you have a dedicated bus between your computer and your interface, as I do, you can introduce jitter by simply moving your mouse and dragging a window across the screen.
I went from .0 ms to .7 ms jitter just by minimizing a finder window, but it settled back down to .1 after a couple of seconds.
