(delete sense #2, "dominate over other considerations; to be over-emphasized" 不知道出自哪里)
-----------------

Editor: The M example quoted in the submission itself already illustrates the figurative sense:
現在是一個經濟掛帥的時代。

Here 掛帥 clearly doesn't mean literally "to take command".

The proposed gloss retains only the literal sense ("to be in command; to take command; to take charge"), but omits this figurative usage.

LA likewise distinguishes the literal and figurative senses:
擔任統兵的元帥。後比喻居於領導的地位。
例:「升學主義掛帥」、「破除收視率掛帥的錯誤觀念」。

Taiwan Panorama contains many similar examples:
考試掛帥的教育體制
業績掛帥
經濟掛帥
成本利潤掛帥
績效掛帥
技術掛帥
理性消費掛帥
資本主義掛帥

These examples suggest that 掛帥 is also used figuratively to mean that something is the dominant or overriding consideration. I therefore don't think the figurative sense should be deleted, although its English glosses could perhaps be improved.
Diff:
- 掛帥 挂帅 [[gua4shuai4]] /to be in command/(fig.) to dominate over other considerations; to be over-emphasized/
# + 掛帥 挂帅 [[gua4shuai4]] /to be in command; to take command; to take charge/
 
+ 掛帥 挂帅 [[gua4shuai4]] /to take command; to be in command/(fig.) to take precedence; to be paramount; to be given top priority/
