Semblances have been explicitly stated as being "unique", meaning until further notice speed is unavailable, and Glyphs are so far the only semi-exception. I say semi-exception because each of its users has shown a different design and has used them differently, which might imply that the use of the term "Glyphs" is simply a catch-all for semblances using emblems or symbols. There's also the fact that Glynda hasn't actually been confirmed to use Glyphs, meaning she could very well just be using something very similar. Like Emblems. Or Insignias. Or Seals, or Pentagrams, or...well, you should get the idea by now. Point is, though, that Glyphs are currently the only exception to the "Semblances are unique" rule, and even then they must be different enough from the assumed canon users' that they cannot be called the exact same semblance. Expect this to change as more canon information on the subject is given.

Additionally, Aura doesn't enhance existing senses, it simply gives a low-key sixth sense. And reflexes are most certainly not a sense in any way, shape, or form.

Also, your "changes" to the CoG really haven't done much to change the underlying problem, as it still requires a large number of people to be insane enough (in just the right way, no less) that they would even become a thing in the first place, never mind the need for at least a few people in seats of great power to be the same kind of insane. And they're pretty much as powerful and far-reaching as before your "changes".
