I would say the question of "speed" is too ambigious, though that's not to say it's not a legimtiate question.

I know with flash for example, there's blocks which consist of multiple pages, and typically to make a change, you have to write out an entire page, which means you need to read the entire page first, otherwise you'd lose all the other data in the page. So in that case, modification takes longer than writing fresh data, so if you asking how fast flash is, even then it depends on exactly what operation you're performing and the state of the memory. Furthermore, that behaviour isn't necessarily fundamental to how flash has to operate, but is likely a design compromise to balance performance in different scenarios and make the most of flash memories more fundamental characteristic. So it's very hard to put a number on speed in a general sense - you need to have specific real world scenario's to make any kind of meaningful comparison.

I would say it's perhaps too early to know how "fast" Weebit's ReRAM is. Weebit's memory structure and the controllers used to access it will be continualy improved, so even if the fundamental bit-level speed is now as fast as it'll ever be, the overall speed in real-world scenarios may increase drastically over the next few years as it's optimised for the real world workloads it's used for.

Any comparison you make now has to focus on very low-level operations, like the latency to read and write a single bit, and I beleive we already have that information, it's just hard to know what that will look in a real world scenario.

If you can say what your relative "access time" is, you can state what you write time is, even if it is just relative to something else. Choose the block size that makes the most sense for comparison purposes. I am also OK if you give me a relative update time and a new direct write time. I dont believe any of your caveats hold either, the product is commercially viable now so the specifications for write performance would be valuable to know now regardless of whether they will improve in later iterations of the platform.
