Exactly he doesn't know everyone in the alliance hence we can't be using such statements for powerscaling.
He even made a similar statement about the new gen when he was flying Zoro up. I don't think those statements are being used to prove that they are above the previous gen.
For Sanji to be above Jinbei, there should be a clear cut showing of difference. If Jinbei defeated WW with the same difficulty as Sanji defeats Queen then that would be a clear showing. But statements like stars does not do that in my view.
Imagine if the only argument for X > Y is because of such lines like star or muscle or wings...that wouldn't be much of valid claim at all

Strawhats, you are the muscle, is a very straightforward statement.
Marco has no relation to Kid nor Law, but since WB saw the future in Luffy at Marineford when he ordered his men to support him, the fact that Ace gave his life to protect him, the fact that WB Pirates gathered morale in order to save Luffy despite WB and Ace dying, and thus Strawhats being Luffy´s crew, means something. Putting aside the Wa No and Oden backstory, Marco is here for Strawhats, not Kid and Law.
I think they are. The entire topic of the Yonkou saga is new generation overtaking the old generation.
Your opinion, in the end whether Jinbe is Y2C and Sanji is Y3C or the other way around does not mean anything for the statement in itself since the intended meaning, here are the new rising stars and the commander equivalents overtaking the old all stars, but Sanji has a very good case obviously beating a Y2C directly.
As always, it does neither mean he has to beat every Y2C now, One Piece does not work like that, despite many here believing that it does, just like Luffy beating Katakuri did not mean he can take out every Y1C (especially with his G4 limit and Marco´s reg), nor whether he would win in a direct fight against Jinbe.
But Jinbe´s best offensive feat is tying with a ~ Y3C, Sanji´s will be beating a Y2C.
