Centrifugal motion slows time.

You seem to have a superfluous word there.

It is not the fact that the motion is centrifugal that is important. It is
the fact that there is motion.

The particle could oscillate back and forth along a straight line.

As long as the average velocity as the same, the 'slowing of time' would be
the same.

The particle could move in a straight line and the 'slowing of time' would
be the same, with the additional complication of comparing times at distant
locations.
That problem is avoided in the case of circular motion and in the case of
linear oscillatory motion.
