lets just look it this way. all shinobi are insanely fast. we have seen shinobi dodge explosive tags at close range. an explosion travels at 27,000 feet per second. this means that shinobi can react and dodge attacks at insane levels

minato was truly physically fast. yes he used the flying thunder god technique to instant transportation. but he also used body speed with the use of the body flicker. thats how he grabbed baby naruto.

the body flicker is a high speed movent that is so fast its been described as if they teleported.

other users of this ability are the raikage, but generally body flicker can't be used in combat because like chidori the user most likely gets a tunnel vision. the raikage counter this using their lightning armor to increase their reflexes exponentially. but apparently minato's reflexes must have been fast enough lightning armor wasn't needed because when he used flying thunder god to dodge Ay's attack he waiting until Ay's was a few inches away from him.

the only thing that naruto's kyubi mode did was allowed him to use the body flicker technique without any tunnel vision in a similar fashion as the raikage's lightning armor.

so the only thing the chakra cloak would do for minato is maybe double his reflexes.
