All Piccolo needs to get stronger is do more fusions with warrior type namekians or another magician type, right now Piccolo has 1 extra warrior type and 2 of his halves (magician and Warrior) fused up, pretty sure a extra magician type namekian could also be added to make Piccolo equal in magician and warrior types in his whole being, though the issue here is that Goku and Vegeta have SSG levels that surpass SS3 and piccolo is nowhere near SS2 level, so if anything he needs a power-up transformation, rather than just taking off heavy clothes to raise a lil bit of his power level, how will he achieve this though I´m uncertain, if it´s even possible, that is.
I see a number of issues with him fusing, at least as things are now. The first would be that fusion depends on the strength of the two available halves. So piccolo would need to fuse with someone strong for it to make a difference. Which is a bit of a problem considering there aren't that many warrior class namekians around. IIRC piccolo was the last one, though that might have been because frieza at the time had killed everyone else. Also worth noting, it wouldn't help him reach the ki of a god which is distinctly different from regular ki. I guess it is possible he can fuse with namekians from other universes. I mean, there are other dragon balls around so there might be other namekians. Actually, the past couple chapters actually prove there are.
But wasnt there some supreme kais stronger in combat than other ones? I´d say as far as supreme kais are concerned, there´s a great diversity in their magic arts and warrior traits, though, the ones that got rekt by Buu were mostly warrior types, there were magicians like Babidi who could pull some interesting magics even with shitty power levels (even his barrier, could allow him to survive a SS2 majin Vegeta suicide bomb
), so it´s more like, depending on what magics Piccolo can learn he can become more of a threat, like lets say he trains on making warping space-time spells on Whis level, that would make him without a doubt a threat, but if he´s stuck with the average sealings and telekinesis alone, he would have a hell of a time trying to survive Buu level, oponents.
Well, as far as we saw all of the kais were well stronger than piccolo. Except perhaps old kai who got weaker from fusing but in turn got powerful magics. Which weren't useful for actual combat. Anyways, all the other supremes were shown as stronger than piccolo and not a single one used a single magic that would be useful against buu. Maybe it was that bu was too powerful for them in spite of that. Or maybe magic is simply not good for combat. You even have whis and berus, who are immensely powerful and at least whis has a number of magical skills as well, and even then he doesn't use them. Berus was the one who sealed old kai in the sword as well IIRC. Magic could perhaps be useful in some cases however the manga so far seems to suggest its actual combat applications are at best limited.But wasnt there some supreme kais stronger in combat than other ones?

Now though, there was something that Piccolo didnt undergo in his training as well, if I recall, he never went through any time of limiter removal boost, that Guru and Elder kai performed so he could get a additional power-up there, which should always be anything below mystic gohan, but a somewhat significant power-up nonetheless
Still nothing...
That is a shame. Well, at least the dragon ball wikia has a pretty comprehensive summary of the chapter.
.I personally don't think that they all have counterpart in the other universe. I expect most of the new characters to be fodder too, at the beginning at least.
. At least three(?) new races? One looks like Cell, maybe it's an artificial being too.
