a bubble in the clutch line won't lead to a delay on engagement. It will prevent full disengagement as you are using clutch pedal travel to compress the air bubble and not move the clutch towards disengagement and that can result in accelerated wear and glazing of the disk and flywheel, especially under the conditions you describe, which will in turn result in slippage. If you suspect that is the case, you should be able to test it by getting into a tall gear 4th or 5th), low speed out of boost, and standing on it. You should know if its slipping as it goes into boost.
I did the CDV removal as well. Used the motive. It does require you pump the pedal, and you will see air moving from the reservoir thru the bleeder hose. It takes a lot of pedal pumping and for a bit I was losing confidence. But eventually the pedal started to gain pressure and the bleed was successful.
