Display decimals in the number slider. (or %)

I am working on a scheduling/capacity management task.
I have a use case where I need to display the hours booked vs available with a number slider.

The number slider isn't supporting decimals and it rounds the value.
It's not a blocker, but my formula field will display 5.5 hrs / 8
while the number slider field will display 6/8.

I tried to check the number slider with the max value = 1 and the display format started displaying decimals (0.3 in the example below).
However since the Value Increment is 1, and that's the min value I can select, the number slider doesn't support values like 0.1, 0.2 ..etc
It's 0 or 1 in this case.

Nate Montgomery could this be a bug (displaying 0.3 in the display format but not supporting decimals)?
Or this could be a feature request?

Another way of better accuracy could be using the number slider as a percent complete.
In this case, it will display 50 (considering 100 as the max value) instead of 4.
Which could be confusing since it doesn't let me display the % and displays numbers only.

What could be the best workaround to display the booked hours while supporting values like 5.5/8 or 1.25 / 8 ?
