>By this point, did Nasu ever rank or officially compare DAAs in the remake on comparison to which this argument is occurring?
Most certainly, we already have plenty of information to get a picture on how powerful DAA are. In Case Files 2 remnants of Greater DA were capable of generating enough energy to recreate a Grail that makes Servants summonable. This was only possible because remnants of Greater DA are equal to each other, and Rodin outright states Einashe's main body is as powerful as his master Rita. So the DA Ranks themselves do a pretty good job at establishing the power hierarchy. Plus like I mentioned before Child of Einnashe can tank mountain level Rhongomyniad according to Gray herself, and TsukiR Einashe >>> Fate Einnashe >>>>>>>>>> Child of Einnashe. It's the most straightforward comparison.
Vlov is considered a third rate DA by Arc and he should have been crushed by his Principle after inheriting Idea Blood from his master because he doesn't have the basic power required to wield it. Yet this same Vlov can tank Arc's Marble Phantasm (which FGO considers an EX Rank NP) capable of leveling multiple city blocks like nothing.
Rank VII DA are stated to be in a different league from Rank VI.
Arc states a Rank VII DA defeating an Ancestor (Rank IX) is "almost impossible" due to the difference in Lifescale (which includes energy generation capacity, soul weight, etc). And Rank VIII are stated to stand way above Vlov despite Vlov wielding his Principle, as shown by the picture.

So yeah.
>cherrypick the fact that Iori can attack the soul at a conceptual level.
You've never once posted proof he can damage the soul of something greater than a Servant. Don't deflect the burden of proof. The soul isn't a static thing.
>OK, you are now stretching goalposts after being ignorant to mystery 101
Are you sure you didn't shoot yourself in the foot with your ignorance bro? Because I promise you, I'm very well acquainted with the concept of Mystery and it's not something limited to Magic and Iori. It never was.

>and has most of the perks of being an ancestor
Not really. He definitely doesn't have an Ancestor's blood reserves, and IB explicitly needs blood reserves in order to operate. Arc also states Apostles of Rank VIII are leagues above Vlov and this is despite Vlov being an Ancestor with IB, since the depiction of Vlov in this exact scene is Vlov with his IB activated.

>All I'm seeing out of that is that he's strong but nothing to pinpoint any comparison
Arc explicitly has a very precise power scouter since she can measure someone's Lifescale. This is demonstrated multiple times and outright stated in Ciel's True route.
Arc knew full well she couldn't defeat Vlov at her current level so Vlov defeating her at that point doeesn't prove anything.
