@tektonic: she has broken through earth twice IIRC
I recall damaging the floor when she landed, her charged white flame attack, and curving Kyoshi's fireball(more of a duo thing but great skill). Those are her best showings though, the bulk of her attacks can be blocked, and her best attacks minus the charged(very impressive) one can be dealt with a thicker shield or boulder.
and has means to counteract her environmental manipulation with jet stepping and
Depends how Korra chooses to attack her. If it's something obvious like rolling waves or quakes, sure she can avoid. However if it's something accurate like hands and feet encasings(how she trapped Asami), rotating or launching platforms, or boulders spawning right from her feet, than she's likely to be tagged.
given her jet propulsion is described to be as quick as a blur, she would be able to evade Earthbending fine.
Blur is relative, especially since we can't see how fast she was actually moving or anyone prominent being blitzed or attack dodged.
Also many attacks and bending enhancements, especially that Korra has fought can be classified as such(dark spirits, opponents on spouts, cables, super fast attacks moving as a blur or traveling giant distances). In addition to her own varied usage of jets which should be capable of keeping up if she and mako can scale large structures fairly quickly.
Though I'd give her the benefit of the doubt and say she can move close to the speed Mako used jets. Also her sustained jets midair while attacking as she did to Yun will give her a temporary safe zone before Korra uses larger scale attacks to reach her.
