In fact, in my super responsive miata, I always applied a mild force on the shifter towards shifting out of the gear when I depress the clutch. The driving torque from the engine will generate enough friction to keep the synchro hub locked. As soon as the clutch hit the disengagement point, the friction was gone and it felt like a gate open and the shifter dropped out of gear. This gave shortest delay without rush to shift smoothly on the super responsive car.
clutch to floor before even moving out of the current gear
wonder if higher clutch engagement point can solve timing issues.

baaaIf it's just about clutch disengagement timing, initiate your shifting timing sequence by the clutch disengagement point instead of the start of depressing the clutch.

As an old fart, I can think of at least one possibility.
