A lot of these fpv drones are capable of 30mph. That’s not a lot of time to spot em and react.

Some of them can go 90-120mph (off the shelf). Custom FPV drones can go even faster - some fancy ones 330+ kph (200+ mph)

Back in 2014/2015 I was racing FPV drones. My most insane one could accelerate from stationary (on the ground) to doing 160kmh (100mph) straight up, in about 2 seconds. It wasn't much faster horizontally, but it'd top out at over 180kmh.

also.. detonating an explosive drone at only a few meters away is still likely to take you out...

Especially given they have anti-personnel shrapnel.
