Until they kick it up a notch of course.As far as his destructive power, of course he's out matched. His tech and versatility though balance him out.
That's not how the list worked back in the day, half of the Flashes were mid heralds with good reason, Magneto was scratching the bottom of the barrel for Low herald, I struggled for months to get Kang into the low herald category.
Iron-Man has outliers, but so does Wolverine, this is unrelated with how the lists were conceived before. I get that people want to argue about IM handling the Hulk in occasion, or getting good hits against powerful characters, but he'd still classify comfortably as bottom low herald, which isn't that difference from what he already was: the top notch high meta.
The problem with lifting up the list is that the word herald will be thrown around with characters that have no business using it. I mean, are people advocating for Doom to mid-herald already? This is calling for tier inflation pretty fast.
