Not really. Villains are judged on their danger based on what effect they could have on the world. Someone of little strength but immense intelligence and manipulation abilities could prove a HUGE danger than someone with great power but can be easily fooled and led astray. Aizen was no stronger than most senior Captains, given that NONE of the senior Captains (Ukitake, Kyouraku, Yamamoto, or Unohana) fought him seriously. The only one who fought semi-seriously, Yamamoto, only used ONE Shikai technique. And that alone was enough to make Aizen need to create an Arrancar with the sole purpose of sealing Ryujin Jakka. Point being, Aizen, with his own strength and power, would have lost. That wasn't the danger. The danger was how intelligent Aizen was and just what the damage he could possibly wreck upon Soul Society would be.
