The "slide to top" animation and the excess of movement

Currently, when editing the panel and hovering the widgets, the context menu (or whatever it is) appears too fast and this can be very frustrating when hovering multiple objects because lots of context menus keeps appearing very fast. Also, the slide to top animation worsen this visual pollution. A fade in animation would smooth things out.

If we implemented a delay, we would annoy people in the opposite direction: They would say, "why doesn't it immediately react to hover? It's too slow!

This seems highly subjective. I don't think the slide animation is "visual pollution" at all. We use slide animations all over the place and in general I think they look pretty good.
