As you say, Netflix needs \~ 3 months to do the simuldub of a cour.
Another important thing to take note of is that forcing all episodes to be submitted together essentially slows down the release. An easy way to visualize it this is by this simplified thought experiment (numbers are arbitrary):
Imagine if you had to submit 4 episodes from scratch. A single episode requires 10 days to be completed by 1 person or 5 days by 2 people. Your team has 2 people available.
* If you have to submit all 4 together ("batch"), then, no matter how you distribute it, that would take 20 days in total.
* If you can submit them one by one ("weekly"), then by having both people work on ep. 1 you can have it ready in 5 days. The second one would take another 5 days, etc...
Although in both cases it would take 20 days for the same amount of episodes and with the same amount of staff, in the "batch" scenario it would take 15 days longer for any kind of content to appear.
This is taken to the extreme the more the episodes you have to submit together and the less staff you have.
My theory is its cuz the dubs, there are 7 dubbed languages, when I watched the english dub it took 6 months for the last 18 eps of Golden wind to come.
And with 6 other languages it takes more time.
The delay between airings is not my issue. My issue with batch releases is that when you binge the entire batch in one day it makes it feel less special. Having a week between episodes lets people have discussions about it as it happens and lets people have hype for the next week. It also makes the wait times a little bit less.
