Many say his appearance in Apocalypse gives him vague parity to Luke Skywalker. I have yet to determine that this is the case. But based on his showings in legacy alone, I have his rough equal in power as :

I heard it's because in Apocalypse he and Luke were destined to essentially be the next Son and Daughter to take down Abeloth.

Yeahhh, it's not really like that at all. I guess it's true that Krayt and Luke played the same "roles" that the Son and Daughter did in defeating Abeloth, but that wasn't ever implied to have been destiny or anything; it could have theoretically been any Sith and any Jedi, provided they were strong enough.

Krayt's hype doesn't overrule his lack of overly impressive feats though. Everything he did after "Apocalypse" are feats that are easily comparable to the feats of sub-Vader Sith Lords, even Dooku has feats and accolades warranting a placement above Krayt. Based on all those feats you named here, he's rather unimpressive.
Killing Imperial Knights quickly is no different is no different than Deceived Malgus or Lord Adraas slaughtering nameless Jedi during the sacking of Coruscant. Killing nameless Jedi is unimpressive, and the Imperial Knights, as an organization, shouldn't be any more powerful individual to individual, than the Jedi are.
Making his presence known galaxy wide is something it seems Sith can do easily. Maul and Malak, both of whom aren't too extraordinarily powerful, were able to do this casually.
I'm unaware of that comparison, so I can't say with any certainty what my stance on it is.
Also, given (iirc) Krayt was trying to TURN Cade, and not kill him, the assumption can be made that Krayt was obviously holding back. So this is, so far, the only feat that's actually somewhat impressive here.
Leading a large faction of Sith doesn't make you powerful, it just makes you more powerful than the dreg that are serving under you. Again, Darth Malak is a good example of this. He's given titles like Sith Magnus, and praised for how powerful he supposedly was, but ultimately, he wasn't all THAT powerful. He was just stronger than all of the others in his Empire. Or Lord Kaan, who in comparison to even Malak, is underwhelming as Dark Lords go. He was the leader of a Sith faction, but again, he's underwhelming, and arguably not really all THAT powerful in the first place.
Yeah, this is like his defeat of Cade, to a far lesser extent. His ability to contend with Kenobi is indeed impressive, but as you said, once Kenobi cut the crap, he downed Krayt rather handily. Although, in Krayt's defense, he was vastly pre prime, and I don't doubt that, in his prime, Krayt would have been able to best Kenobi.
Yeah, not really much to say on this one, other than what you said.
This is another thing that I find impressive, aside from just beating Cade. I may put more points into how important knowledge and experience is than most people, so to me, a century+ worth's of study and experience should logically have made Krayt pretty powerful
Btw, I'm not at all saying Krayt is weak, I've personally got him around Vader level overall. But the argument can be made that he's lower than that.
-------
Again, his feats from "Apocalypse" are circumstantial. I'm currently gathering up the Luke+Krayt vs Abeloth fight, so I can point out why I think they're circumstantial, and shouldn't be considered too heavily.

77, you realise that by mastering the Star Forge to a great degree, Malak would be becoming continuously more powerful. Such a source of power being immeasurably more powerful than the Star Maps. That makes him vastly more powerful than the likes of Pall, Muur and other Dark Jedi Exiles who used the Star Maps to grow more powerful than their predecessors.
Malak's monstrously powerful given that scaling.

Where exactly is it said they only drew power from the Star Map? Not arguing against it since I believe Malak>Exiles via SF argument, just wanna know the details.
