At least, that's the angle I think the writers are gunning for. Zenos is now essentially a self-ascended Ascian, and can do anything an Ascian can do, including bamf his mortal shell around as he pleases.
But even Ascians can't disengage immediately out of combat, hence why Lahabrea and Igeyorhm were killed in Heavensward and Nabriales in AAR. I mean, why not poof away immediately the moment they begin losing the combat? Even Emet was overwhelmed at one point and chose to fight on instead of disengage, which begs the question why did he stand and fight when he didn't physically need to stick around there at all?
