Of course you need speed to dodge, sensing only tells you what's coming, it doesn't move you out of the way. Being alerted and having the physical capability to move out of harm's way are not the same, the latter of which is absolutely necessary, especially at close-range or when the technique spans a wide area. Take the Minato vs. Raikage example.
Telling you what's coming makes you prepare to dodge it. It's not about always speed, just watch a real fight, speed alone can't win fights if sensing and skill is greater than your speed.
As for your comment on hypersonic being 8x faster you are wrong on so many levels.
At Minimum Super Sonic is 915 mph and Maximum Hypersonic is 7,680, it's 8x because i didn't know that Reverse Lotus is Supersonic. Anyway, Reverse Lotus Lee is Transonic as Transonic Speed can also create shockwave.
At maximum, the difference is 5x but supersonic ranges from Mach 1 to Mach 5 with Hypersonic being Mach 5 to Mach 10, so the difference can also only be 1x.
NO, the range from MACH 1 to 5 is 915 to 3,840 miles per hour. And if your speed increases from 915 to 950 miles per hour, that is already a huge increase in speed. Please dont make this into DBZ Multiplier because there's no such multiplier exists in this Shinobi World where kunais and shurikens matter. Shinobi could teleport because it's part of being a Shinobi but them having speed and reflexes moving at hypersonic is like them using a GUN which violates what KISHI wants of the Shinobi World.

Kakashi cut a bolt of lightning with his hand.
That means he moved his hand fast enough to cut lightning(which is a lot faster than sound). first gate guy makes kakashi look like a sub-average speedster. 7th gate guy makes kakashi look like a slug.
Kakashi cutting the bolt of lightning with his Raikiri tells something about how sharp Raikiri is. The manga didn't say Kakashi outspeed a bolt of lightning.
So what if Kakashi cut the bolt of lightning? did the manga said that he moved his hand faster than lightning? did we saw him how he cut the lightning bolt? How did Kakashi cut the bolt of lightning?
WE DON'T KNOW, IT'S JUST PURE SPECULATION ON HOW KAKASHI CUT A BOLT OF LIGHTNING, AS IT POINTED OUT IN NUMBERS THAT SASUKE'S KIRIN IS AS FAST AS LIGHTNING AND ALMOST UNAVOIDABLE.

Guy moved his foot fast enough to hit kisame before he could completely think "So fast". That means his foot moved so fast, across a few feet, that it was faster than the time taken for a complete set of neurones (electrical charges) to move a few micrometers in the brain to register a complete thought.
LOL, another speculation. Do you think Kishimoto was thinking about electrical charges or neurons and few micrometers while writing/drawing his manga?LOL
Kisame was talking inside his mind. And that was a clone Kisame with a fraction of his power, speed, sensing and skills.

Madara moved so fast that minato, someone who instantly teleports by seemingly thought, couldn't evade him. Madara moved fast enough to casually slash off his arm after teleportation, kick his arm away, then spin kick minato. All done with the force and accuracy to also snipe kakashi and gaara and, again, fast enough that minato couldn't even register the thought/w.e is necessary to teleport - the same minato who teleported from speed-demon juubito was made to look like a dog.
MOVED SO FAST = SPEED DEMON = SPECULATION SPEED
Again, it's all about speculation in this fictional manga, this isn't a real world.
This invalidates your argument. Because kisame said "Super sonic" doesn't mean it was just supersonic. Kisame doesn't need to be completely factually accurate in a kid's manga, and pedantic about little phrases. Obito survived with a hole through his chest after all.
Kisame's statement = Kishimoto's statement
Manga Drawings = Inconsistent
Wait, Transonic Speed can also create shocwaves, so Reverse Lotus Lee is Transonic.
I can invalidate your argument that drawings of Lee using Reverse Lotus is not Transonic and the shockwave was just for showcase. And yeah using your logic, we didn't see Madara and Juubito creating shockwaves in their movements, so that means they're nowhere Transonic, LOL.
Range of Supersonic 915-3,840 miles per hour. Again, this isn't DBZ where increase in Speed is ridiculous. An increase of 915 to 950 miles per hour can make anyone dead slow, IT'S ALREADY A HUGE INCREASE. Also, skills and reaction time matters too in dodging.
6th gate to 7th Gate is Supersonic:
