Horizontal velocity is how long it takes to travel the X meters to target.
That's what matters, although flattening the arc would semi-improve time to target at the cost of even worse indirect fire.

A slow subsonic missile with any kind of IR, radar, or other forms of tracking might move on average of 800 bloody miles per hour.
Just tossing out that in this day and age, subsonic missiles aren't even really considered a major threat unless they're cruise missiles designed for engagements in another continent...
If an erll is used at its max optimal range, we consider that an acceptable poke/snipe.
If an ERPPC is used at max optimal and is used right we call that a good poke/snipe.
If an AC2 is used with not very hard to aim care, at max optimal, we call that a good harassment/suppress/poke
We somehow decry LRMs for their use at ranges they should be good at, and expect them to move slow. Because everyone here is indoctrinated to think missiles move slow.
There are missiles used in the world that travel above the speed of sound, we call them supersonic.
There are missiles used in the world that travel *so fast* we gave them the name "Hypersonic" as in they travel at such immense speed that we gave up trying to apply the same name to it because it wasn't worthy.
Missiles are an have been the primary means of bringing "F*** you up" to your enemy for a very, very long time. It's only here, where people seem to think we need to remove them from existence like we'd somehow ignore one of the greatest weapon development and delivery platforms in history.
edit- BY NO MEANS DOES THIS MEAN WE NEED TO MAKE THEM COMPARIBLE TO THEIR REAL LIFE BROTHERS.
This is simply a statement arguing that perhaps certain considerations should be made before slamming an argument over a change in flightpath/velocity.

Step one: Remove Non-LOS locks for LRMs.
Step Two: Improve velocity by both decreasing arch of missile and increasing actual velocity.
Does this satisfy both parties?
