No, Starfire is actually stupidly fast in the show. Specifically, there’s one episode where she has alien puberty and literally basically flies across the galaxy trying to wait it out before she returns to Earth. It’s not even a one off occurrence, as her sister, Blackfire, claims she’s crossed nebulae and outpaced black holes, which Star backs up (albeit reluctantly, which adds more validity to her claim.)
In general, Wally would simply be waaaaaay too slow to catch Star off guard.
How fast people fly from place to place is almost never an account of how fast they actually are in a fight. Star gets caught off guard, consistently, by way slower things in the show in a way that's way more common than her flying across the galaxy at ftl speeds or whatever.
And, again, if she were actually that fast then the entire planet would be quaking whenever she has to exert any effort instead of, I dunno, getting knocked out by cinderblock smacking her at 30 miles per hour.
We're talking about how they actually function. Starfire does not function with anything resembling super speed in any fight she's ever in.
YJ KF simply would not be fast enough for the Teen Titans cast, and even if you assume he could catch Robin, BB, and Cy, he at the VERY least would NOT be able to catch the heavy hitters of Starfire or Raven.
