In that same vein, we don't see what/where Loki was falling through for that time period. He might have been falling through a dimension where gravity works differently to Earth. If he hit Strange's floor at terminal velocity, he would have at least visibly damaged it, even if not damaging himself.

Not all the gems are equal. The time gem is far more powerful than the mind gem it seems. You can't die with the time gem. We saw Loki needed to make physical contact with a person to put them under his control.

I think you'e a bit off. From the moment Strange moves his hands to the moment the portal is set enough to step through, takes him 3-4 seconds. But fine, let's keep it at 3.
Loki in comparison makes illusions instantly as we've seen him do multiple times before. He can throw a dagger in a fraction of a second.
So if Strange takes 3 seconds to build a portal, that means he could be riddled with at least 3 daggers before he's through. That's not even taking into account Loki creating illusions all around him and all attacking him at the same time.
Strange can protect himself by creating shields, but he can't create portals while holding his shields.

I thought default starting distance was 100 ft and not 100 m? But ok, let's say 100m.
The velocity of a thrown knife is 60 kph, thrown by a professional human knife thrower. That's around 16 meters per second. Which means it will take around 6 seconds to cover 100m. But we also know that Loki is a lot stronger than a human. If he can double the speed of the thrown knife then the knife hits in 3 seconds. Pretty sure Loki is way stronger than just 2x human strength which means he should be able to speed that knife up more than just 2x normal speed.
And even if Strange gets his portal up before the knife hits, so what? If he creates the portal next to him he'll still need to push it the 100m towards Loki. If he tries to create it beside Loki then Loki can simply sidestep it. That's not even taking into consideration that Loki can just immediately create illusions of himself from the getgo so Strange won't know which Loki to hit.
Plus I have yet to see Strange fly AND create portals at the same time.

He needs to catch Loki first. When he caught him in Ragnarok, Loki had no idea what was going on and it took a number of seconds for the portal to form around Loki's feet. Enough time that Loki could simply have stepped out of that circle.
In this scenario, not only will Strange need to catch a moving Loki with his portal, he will also need to do it while under attack from Loki and while trying to figure out which Loki is the real one among multiple illusions.
How exactly will Strange hold Loki in place? He doesn't have telekinesis that I know of. Do you have any feats of Strange holding someone in place while he makes a portal?
Once Loki is in a pocket dimension I agree he can't get out. That's not what I'm arguing. I'm saying Dr. Strange is going to have hell of a time putting Loki in a pocket dimension in the first place, considering that Loki attacks far faster than Strange can make portals.
Eh, I'd have to disagree, at least going by what we've seen so far. The time gem can make it so you can't be killed. The mind gem....someone under its control can be removed from said control with just a sharp blow to the head.
Even in the comics the gems aren't all equal, with the power gem supposedly having the capacity to tap into any super power in existence if you use it correctly.
