I'll agree with this statement. No jutsu is invincible and Hiraishin is no exception. Truth is, we've never seen Hiraishin used against high level ninja before so we can't really assume how it would do one-on-one against an S-class shinobi. But it seems like Hiraishin is most useful for taking out large numbers of ninja at once. The effect is something like being able to appear in several places simultaneously. We saw this when Yondaime was basically able to single-handedly defeat an entire army of Rock-nin without breaking a sweat. You can't do this Shushin, which only allows a short burst of speed.
One on one however, I would think the technique becomes more comparable to Shushin. However, since it is a teleportation technique, there is no way of tracing the movement of the character. A skilled enough ninja could track the movement of someone using Shushin (even though the user would appear invisible to most average ninja), but not someone using Hiraishin. That makes the move much harder to evade or counter. But even Shushin is potentially very dangerous if someone is excels at using the technique. Uchiha Shisui apparently used it a great deal and he was considered one of the strongest Uchiha in the clan.
