Ace had grown really reliant on his df to fight and he neglected to train his physical abilities and haki further. This was shown against Blackbeard where he didn't use his physical abilities and haki and instead used new techniques with the Mera to fight Teach after he revealed that he could negate Ace's power by touching him and against Akainu.
Yes Blackbeard's claim about most df users who are too reliant on their df is both true and hypocrital since it's clear that he has become himself very overconfident and reliant on his df powers with him only dropping his guard very easely and choosing to get two df instead of developping his physical abilities and haki. That makes him the total opposite of Shanks who has no df and got extremely powerful through years of hard training and battles and mastery of haki and swordsmanship.
Yeah, but still I'm unsure of it, as he did eventually make Ace bleed a lot despite him being actual fire. Not to mention he managed to cut (??????) Shanks even without the devil fruit.
But then his overall look makes him seem like physically unfit.
I'm suspicious that Oda might be hiding his superior haki abilities.

Well Oda didn't do a good job at putting it in action since for the rest of the fight we only saw Ace using his df in new ways instead of using anything else against Blackbeard.
The fated confrontation against Akainu only confirmed it with Ace once again relying on his df against a much superior foe.

He did make Ace bleed though it was thanks to him being physically stronger than Ace. Also the fact that he chose to get a second df after his misadventures against Ace, Luffy, Magellan and Whitebeard tell me that he hasn't really learnt his lesson and that instead of trying to retrain his haki and physical abilities to become stronger and overcome his weaknesses he instead chose to believe that it was because the Yami alone wasn't powerful enough and to get the Gura too to be sure to be stronger.
Yeah, most of the fight is offpanelled after Auger's statement there, which is just after Blackbeard reveals what it is his DF can do.
I've always taken it to be more "ah, I shouldn't be surprised Ace is this strong even without his DF powers, given he's a WB pirate." Sort of like Auger had never really thought about it, but having seen Ace in action realised it made sense.

That also makes the fact that BB chose to recruit Moria ironic since Moria too had grown too reliant on his df despite his excellent mastery of it, and neglected to maintain and train further his other powers, and that it looks like he finally learned his lesson during the timeskip and began to redevelopp them whereas Teach may be making the same mistake that he did.
