It is unclear what took 200-250ms, is it physical VF creation or bind of the driver to these VFs?
If the latter, you can try with sriov_drivers_autoprobe set to true. This is how ennoblement of large SR-IOV systems is done.
Also PCI spec declares "VF enable" bit, which is applicable to all VFs associated to that PF, see section "9.3.3.3.1 VF Enable".
Thanks
