If you look at how Naruto applies this, he simply uses his fists yet it extends the range of his attack. So if you know the range of his attack is extended, you can look for the telltale sign and dodge it that way.

Once Naruto understood how to Shunshin with Kurama's chakra, he could simply apply that knowledge normally without KCM. It's still a jutsu after all. Naruto's speed was nothing even REMOTELY like the 3rd Raikage before he used Sage Mode.

Jiraiya for instance didn't display such ridiculous levels of speed. So again: individual users are a poor example. Sage Mode becomes far more powerful when it can synergise well with people's jutsu and abilities.
