I recently came to believe (correct me if I'm wrong) that the recommended XOFs SHAKE128 and SHAKE256 are actually nice and fast, but often when people talk about SHA-3 they focus on the slower "drop-in replacements" like SHA3-256 which are quite conservative.

Yes SHAKE is faster than SHA-3 because of "better" parameter choices.
