An USB like that has a very very low bandwidth; you need at least double bandwitdh of your clock.
However a proper real DSO with proper knobs on the chassis is much more confortable to use.

Like Mike said, without one you're really wasting your time.

That was the equipment I used as an amateur when I was still at school. It got me a long way, but I knew when it wasn't sufficient and used a scope where necessary.

Quite frankly I'm surprised you do still have paying clients.

False. All that matters is the transition time; the period/frequency is irrelevant.

For an outline of the theory and some measurements, see https://entertaininghacks.wordpress.com/2018/05/08/digital-signal-integrity-and-bandwidth-signals-risetime-is-important-period-is-irrelevant/

You dont have power supply bypassing. Whatever you put there is not enough, too far and so on. You dont even have a ceramic cap next to that FTDI chip. I'm not surprised it is not working.

So something like the Hantek DSO5102P?

Even so, would it even be worth it if I need to hire someone to remake the circuit anyway...
And it would take a while to learn how to use the thing..
