In this regard a mere 250 doriki which is not much would already mean uppop fought and bested someone at least as strong as nero as a single pills would double that. For that matter, it would be weird if hodi's men had easily well over that physical strength considering they were indeed fighters. Pills allowed them to easily best the princes who were supposedly quite strong and perhaps even haki users. The doriki thing does not actually consider fighting technique however I do think it gives us some perspective in regards to to the physical capacity of a guy ussop could potentially fight.
There is also the part where ussop did take out one of doflamingo's men alongside nami. The two of them were not particularly strong but they were also not that weak either, even franky (who should be well stronger than a pacifista) took a dent from them.
I guess the issue is that ultimately we don't know how much ussop grew, he has yet to fight someone who can push him to the limit. In the end there is no particular reason for him to be well stronger than pre time skip luffy or lucci. Neither of them were worth a sliver of a damn before the timeskip in the grand scheme of things and ussop and nami are supposed to be able to contribute something to the crew in the new world. Nami just gave us an indication that she can create medium sized storms with relative ease, even in her case it wouldn't be strange if she had the firepower to take on someone of pre time skip lucci's caliber... Luffy went from o to what he was before the timeskip in between 6 months and one year, it wouldn't be that strange if the other strawhats actually exceed pre time skip luffy by quite a bit. Heck, even pre time skip ussop put up a fight against luffy at the time (although luffy did not use gears but still). To be honest I am of the idea that currently even the weakest strawhat exceeds pre time skip luffy by quite a bit though, that should be the bare minimum for all of the strawhats to have a position among the crew of the current pirate king.
