weldeds obviously dont have that threshold, therefore if you are traveling 5mph vs 45mph, the diff is always locked

pretty much.
think of it like this. welded= right and left wheel rotate at exact same intervals all the time.
2 way (and correct me if i'm wrong for those that are super into limited slips)= outer wheel in corner receives a percentage more torque than inner wheel (meaning that right hand turns, inner wheel doesn't want to spin as much as outer wheel, and the 2 way has the same locking on decel, just not as aggressive as accel, so that you can make sharper turnes, but not have a completely open diff feel), which is why it's more beneficial for drift cars to get grip off throttle, and on throttle, they get more grip cause they aren't at a 90 degree angle all the time (equal power distribution to both rear wheels).
if this makes sense.
