He doesnt need durability not when he can incapacitate the entire field with an emotionally faced glance. Based on forum rules and the way basic kmowledge works pirite would be seen as the second lowest threat on the opposimg team. Black Adam, Bizzaro, Zoom, Simestro, Cheetah, Dr Light hell even Polaris are all far better known to the public with more public appearances against more noteable and known heroes. On a threat matix he wouldn't even be high on antones radar given its 9 vs 7. While the Annihilators start off to take out the higher threats pirate glances theit way in a panic stricken face and effectively puts the team on the back foot and teduces their effectiveness immensely making those you said not a factor a very large one.
In a battle of more even numbers given everone on the field for the Annihilators except maybe ronan (possibly BRB also but debatable as better speed feats than Thor)moves fast enough to not allow pirate a chance to make such a face you might have a point.
Way I see it if the Annihilators actually rank him as a high enough threat to take out first they should win in a hard fought battle. If they dont no one is resisting his emotional manipulation and they loose pretty quick.
