"Theosophy" seems to benefit some students spiritual evolution
but tend to slow others down.

I should perhaps say "get stuck", rather than "slow down".
Theosophy, like any other spiritual teaching, can be used as an
escape from confronting self in order to hide in a world of
concepts or even "knowledge".  You can use spiritual teachings as
a way to insulate yourself from true self-knowledge.  Many people
do this.
