Latency and bandwidth are not the same. You could potentially have huge capacity for information processing, that would just be delayed because of "implementation details" of neuron biology.
I'm fascinated by brain's plasticity. One example is while we are watching a movie, our perspective constantly "teleports" around actors and across space and time many times in a minute. Yet this seems normal and doesn't overload our brain. There are biohacking experiments with installing extra sensors that seamlessly integrate into our experience of reality.
The unanswered question is how much information can our brain take, and what will happen if there's too much pouring in. Just temporary fatigue or more permanent damage? We cannot know because we never tried it before (aside from specific experiments like air traffic controller and pilot concentration tests).
