Surprised there is still some banding with tungsten, but given it's AC power, it might still affect light output. Not surprised by fluorescent. LED will depend on how it's made. Not sure about HMI.
I found some possibly relevant info here: http://www.lovehighspeed.com/lighting-for-high-speed/
It seems, if tungsten is on DC rather than AC, you won't have a banding problem. Or, if tungsten is very high output, it might also be fine. The link suggests 2k and higher because the filament doesn't have time to cool during the AC 'off' phase. The link also suggests some Kinoflo might be OK. Looks like you will have to test lighting specific to each set to determine whether or not you'll get acceptable results.
What we really need is global electronic shutters. It will eliminate the banding problem, but it won't necessarily allow higher shutter speeds without side effects typical of shooting high shutter speeds now with mechanical shutters. This is all dependent on the light source. I.e. shooting above 1/125 tends to be problematic with fluorescents due to the AC cycle, resulting in inconsistent exposures and WB frame to frame and more effort to fix in post.
