Yeah, Lucci is strong. Easily on par with first mates, possibly above several of them.
The problem to me is that time is running out until EoS. We see that Luffy has reached nearly the peak of his power, now being able to give pretty much any fighter a run for their money
But on the other hand you have Zoro, who still has a decent road ahead of him and yet he's still out here getting matched against dudes who won't help him grow

think of how many people stronger or close to on par with luffy before it was consensus to think he was on par with a first commander
cracker, katakuri , mingo .
think of how many zoro needed in comparison... his last opponent before wano was pica . luffy's growth is weird.
others honestly seem to sort of grow out of nowhere or in less fights.
