DateTimeImmutable::createFromFormat('U.u', sprintf('%.6F', microtime(true)))

Seems to be the shorter variant that produces the same results (except from some rounding errors that might come from the additional date() call):

The 'rounding errors' are caused by sprintf("%06d", ($microTime - $timestamp) * 1000000) which will cast to an integer, dropping obsolete digits instead of rounding the value. Doubt that that would be significant to anybody, though ;)

Note that the time zone will not be set to the current time zone, it will default to "+00:00". This is a side-effect from creating a DateTime(Immutable) from a timestamp.
