There really isn’t a speed advantage to the red dot sight.
There are scopes with automatic illumination if you think that’s going to be an issue. People also forget to turn on/off RDSes. People also misinterpret the level of illumination they will need.
Bro sure zeroing turrets will have anything to do with this application.
If we are using incompetence as a shooter in managing our own equipment as a reason to not choose a tool, perhaps red dots would also be checked off for many of the same reasons.
There are so many professionals choosing variables for the same roles. It’s what it is, a choice. Choose between a perceived speed benefit (which I’ll argue doesn’t exist after I learned what I was doing with one) and the many advantages offered by the LPVO.
Sure, for home defense there are only a few advantages the LPVO brings to the table, but in nearly every other situation the dot is a major disadvantage.
If you can have only one AR and optic, it should be a quality LPVO if you’re doing anything over 100 yards.

Automatic brightness control? Have you trained, tried, or received instruction on this “feature” because in mixed light environments or when using weapon lights it will cycle and mess up to the point I do not know of a single credible trainer that says to enable automatic brightness control in any work or defensive sighting system.
As for red dots not being faster- that depends entirely on the training level and capability of the shooter. Next critical factor is the weight of the weapon. Then comes sighting system. (Somewhere in this forum, I believe I posted data comparing El Prez scores and times using different weight, length and optical systems).
I get it your on the LVPO train, I am too (even wrote a P&S published article on them), but if you are looking for optimum solutions for different problems you will end up with different weapons, equipment, and/or tactics.
