I can't really speak to any sort of timeout, but I have since reduced animation timings and tied the "disable animations" option into workspace switching as well (so there is zero transition in it, should you disable animations).

This is surprising to hear. I only tried Budgie recently but I found it more responsive and reliable than previous window managers (xfce, mate). This includes workplace switching which I use extensively.

I've seen the old Budgie too, it really wasn't good back then. Now it's more or less bug-free, alhough, I personally don't use multiple workspaces, so can't comment on that.
