Luke, Yoda and Anakin could take out the Council in mere minutes. It depends on what the other Sith Lords do but they aren't the types to stick their necks out for weaker members.
Excuse me? 🙄
Dark Council members are not fodder material.

Would they? Some of the dark council members are legit; others are [relative] chumps. Do you imagine an "in teh zone" legacy era Luke struggling against four random council-level sith?
On average, Dark Council members are much stronger then Lost Tribe Sith.

Agreed. PT Era>All but maybe NJO no clue about NJO.
This is subjective assessment.
If we are to take GL's comments at face value then why pick and choose among them? GL have also stated that their is no story beyond Episode 6.
This is canonical ground reality now:-
One Sith Lord survived—Darth Bane—and his vision for the Sith differed from that of his predecessors. He instituted a new doctrine: No longer would the followers of the dark side build empires or amass great armies of Force-users. There would be only two Sith at a time: a Master and an apprentice. From that time on, the Sith remained in hiding, biding their time and plotting their revenge, while the rest of the galaxy enjoyed an unprecedented era of peace, so long and strong that the Republic eventually dismantled its standing armies.
But while the Republic seemed strong, its institutions had begun to rot. Greedy corporations sought profits above all else and a corrupt Senate did nothing to stop them, until the corporations reduced many planets to raw materials for factories and entire species became subjects for exploitation. Individual Jedi continued to defend the Republic’s citizens and obey the will of the Force, but the Jedi Order to which they answered grew increasingly out of touch. And a new Sith mastermind, Darth Sidious, at last saw a way to restore Sith domination over the galaxy and its inhabitants, and quietly worked to set in motion the revenge of the Sith …
The Jedi Order became complacent during the era of peace (Post Brotherhood of Sith).
I can argue that the Jedi Order was very impressive even in its very early stage (Force Wars era).
