Yes they work. All those methods increase not just your physical
response time but your perception of time as well. Casting magic does not
have a time requirement just an action requirement. Channeling mana is
not a time processed event or more to the point that it would travel fast
enough that it would still flow at such a speed that even the fastest
augmentation drags in comparison.

Ancient cultures believed that names held great power, personal names
more so and they were guarded very closely. To protect themselves, they
answered to another name, because if another discovered their real name,
it could be used against them.
History repeats itself.
