Odin's already one shot taken out Surfer.He's also revived Hulk after Enchantress killed ole Greenskin.I'm not seeing Namor being a factor here.
Dr.Strange is the most dangerous.And can pull battle upsets from real high level people from time to time.But overall on average,he's outclassed here.We've seen Doc get beat by Spider-Man.Overpowered by a Fire elemental monster.Have problems with hand ninjas.Be overcome by Kree technology.Look less than great vs Pluto.Etc.Balder has even taken Doc out for several pages.Seemingly,with a single punch.Odin can certainly penetrate his shields.And if Doc doesn't get his shields right up,forget it.
Odin has stopped time.And when in possession of merely a portion of his power.See when he halted time(again,when Loki actually had part of his power)and instantly transported earth's entire population off the planet and into another dimension.
The Infinity Arc isn't fully retconned,far as I know.The source of Dark Odin's power was the abstract Infinity.But Odin's taking part in the galaxy destruction when fighting Dark Odin the first time seems legit.Odin's defeat of Dark Odin in the climax and Odin putting all back right with a wave of his sceptre are canon,far as I know.
Not that it matters.There's still the original Enchanters arc.The very basics of which were shown under Jurgens.Plus Walt Simonson's Surtur arc.Where Odin fights a one shot galaxy destroying Surtur as a relative equal on power.And finally the 1990's JIM mini vs Seth.This stuff pretty much ends speculation about Odin's ability to perform at galaxy or better levels.The last of those also contains a quote by Dr.Strange himself which states the battle between Odin & Seth as having possible multiversal conseqences.
