We are arriving FRA at 0855 on a Wednesday [presumably a relatively heavy arrival time-of-day] We are taking the train from there but I'm reluctant to buy tickets in advance without some idea of how much time to allow for EES. We did an abbreviated EES in France back in April, but as they did not do fingerprints at that time I'm guessing we'll need to do the whole registration over again. For anyone with relevant experience, how long is that likely to take in Frankfurt at that time of day?

As you can see by reading this one link of which there are many, this question is asked quite frequently and everyone is having a different experience. No one can guarantee that your experience will be the same as theirs.

There is no way to accurately predict how long it will take given the situation. You can
either buy ahead of time and take the chance of delays affecting your train travel, or
buy after you get into baggage claim, when things are a bit more deterministic.
Assuming you are going to the Fernbahnhof to catch a long-distance train, at least
there are seats, restaurants, and a grocery store.
