When the chips are down in an Infinity Something story, Thanos always makes sure makes sure Reed is around just in case, by having some contrived and silly reason for getting earth's heroes involved - "Err... let's get those earth heroes involved again... you know, like that Reed Richards guy.... err.. in case we need like a diversion..."
When the chips are down in an FF story, Thanos isn't mentioned or needed.
When Thanos prepped and faced Galactus he was left begging and crying.
When Reed faced Galactus he designed a machine that depowered Galactus into a human and it took him about 10 minutes without prep.
And let's not forget, when Sue got annoyed with Thanos she knocked him out in about 5 seconds. A Council of Reeds comes with a whole bunch of Sues!
Really though, Pym and Amadeus Cho are also both smarter than Thanos these days. Probably Valeria Richards as well.
