Hi cymplecy,  
I know you prefer to use standard nodes if at all possible.  
Just to note you can use the delay node in rate limit, and msg.flush 1 to release next message.  
So set rate limit to high value say 60 second  
once up stream nodes have finish feed msg.flush = 1 back to the rate limit node, making sure there are no other msg properties in the message.  
There are several examples of this on the forum [How to create a sequence to send msg one after another instead in parallel - #4 by E1cid](https://discourse.nodered.org/t/how-to-create-a-sequence-to-send-msg-one-after-another-instead-in-parallel/70363/4)
