This thread is made to show why Ninajs Besides the Raikages do not "spam" or "blitz" off bat with Shunshin/Body flicker. There are many attributes you need to be successful, and unfortunately Only the Raikages have every attribute to afford to spam it effectively. Here is why:
BODY

What I mean in "body"; is if they can sustain High speed movement for long periods because of the stress and stamina it takes.

Now with that being said, it is very very foolish to attempt to spam such movement during a fight if you do not have the stamina to spam it. There is a reason only the Raikages, Guy and Lee can spam high speed movement; Due to there spl bodies they can do it much longer then most ninjas.
CHAKRA
Depending on your chakra control depends on how it goes for lack of a better term. Body flicker is using chakra (ninjutsu) to enhance your movements. You first have to charge the chakra then use the tech or high speed movement.

As you can see up top, while Naruto had to prepare his Shunshin, the Raikage already had his Jutsu active to use when ever. The Lightning release Body flicker allows the user to Spam Body flicker since there chakra's are active thanks to the lighting Armor. So in a real fight spamming the tech isn't as easy as using it when ever you would like to if you're not the Raikages or Gated Lee/Guy. A ninja such as Minato/Tobirama/Itachi/Sasuke may be able to use the shunshin like most ninjas, but they cannot spam it like most think. Nor would it be smart to attempt to spam. (which is why not once in the manga was it shown that they spammed it... EVER. Nor kill a ninja with the body flicker tech... EVER)
And if you have noticed in all the manga almost every elite ninja had some way to react or counter the Body flicker (which is why no elite or above average ninja has ever been "blitz" off bat and loss).
The reason Why Body Flicker isn't spammed by any ninja out side the Raikages is simply because of the stamina, chakra, stress and counter attacks that can arise. And it also takes time to knead the chakra wanting to be used for the body flicker (which is why it is a ninjutsu or nin-taijutsu). The target/opponent also has to be stanionary to be sussessfuly shunshin as seen

. EVen though sasuke knew diedara was attempting to jump (sharingan) he couldn't follow diedara and slice him in the air (

As you can see If you do not have the vision to see a counter attack coming while you attempt to strike, it can be very risky vs many elite ninjas. The Raikages are the only ninjas with out Sharingans that do not have to worry about this (exclude sensors for now) because of the unique LIGHTING RELEASE BODY FLICKER ARMOR.

The Raikages can afford to charge in with there speed not caring for what the opponent attempts thanks to there amazing defense in the form of lighting armor. Ninjas such as Minato/Tobirama do not have this luxury and thus are pronged to counter attacks if not careful. Uchihas have the sharingan to help predict but even that isn't stopping Counter attacks or attacks that come from nor where like

. This is the reason why ninjas like minato/Tobirama/elites do not Shunshin off bat or shunshin all the time. It is used only in the right opportunity not recklessly like most noobs think. They cannot afford to "blitz" off bat, nor will it work on any elite that can counter attack in the slightest. Ninjas Like Mifune uses there Amazing speed when opportunities open in hand seal attempts are made, but only he is capable of such speeds to end a ninja off bat if they use handseals. And gated guy has also been shown to move at high speeds that even the rinnegan and sharingan could not see. (Extra: This all excludes Juubito ofc)
