Ay is all about using his full speed blindly which will be his downfall under my premise.
No, he's not. Literally no example where he wasn't bloodlusted shows this.
-He knew what he was doing against Minato, Minato was just better.
-He knew what he was doing against Naruto, and he was doing it pretty damn well until Naruto sped up.
-Madara? He did what he had to do, and he did right. He charged in for a combo attack with Mei.
How does this translate to him scaling up Katsuyu when he knows it can be potentially dangerous when nothing close to that happened any time he fought besides diving into Amaterasu?
Katsuyu's length and height has to be taken into factor which means Tsunade has around 30 m to react to a leap from Ay.
The best she'll do is block from 30m, which knocks her off Katsuyu.
Ay's best speed feat is blitzing Sasuke from point blank range. Sasuke is faster and has better reactions than Tsunade but not to the extent that what caught Sasuke off guard from point blank range will catch Tsunade off guard from 30 m.
He outright blitzed Sasuke. Take a far slower person and increase the distance and she won't get blitzed, but she's not counter attacking. Madara is slower than Tobirama, who is slower than Minato, who is slower than Ay (Or on par according to DB) and he nigh blitzed SM Naruto from a good 10-15 meters away, and SM Naruto's reactions>MS Sasuke's>>Tsunade's. Deidara almost got blitzed by Hebi Sasuke at a similar distance. (10-15m)
She'll block, she won't counter attack. Counter attacking is even harder since she'll have to time her punch so that she doesn't swing too early or too late.
Also if base Raikage really does have

, then that actually puts Tsunade on that level of reactions as well considering

after coming out of lightspeed travel while injurred and without Byakogou.
He has reflexes (nerve transmission and something about synapses) as the DB states on par with Minato's. That doesn't automatically mean that their reaction speed is equal as reaction speed has to do with your actual movement speed too, at least in this scenario. Tsunade strikes faster than Ay as you noted, so despite having slower reflexes, she can match Ay's punch, which is slower than hers.
Even if she did have reflexes on par with Minato's, her actual movement speed is piss poor in comparison. Ay would've had Minato had it not been for Hiraishin. He'd wreck Tsunade in close range regardless.
Then there's always the chance that the VIZ was wrong, but I doubt it. Too clear to be called false.
