vncdotool does have a —delay=MILLISECONDS switch that inserts a delay between commands.  Currently, the two behaviours causing trouble seem to be that delay defaults to 0 and "type insecure” is considered one command, so there is  no delay between key presses :(  

Is there a non-zero value for —delay that makes sense?  I’m somewhat hesitant to change —delay  as it would be a behavioural change for other users, but if the value is sufficiently small it could be a net usability gain.

Are you requesting that the type command be fixed to insert delays after every character or that default for —delay should be non-zero?
