Actually Peak Maul is confirmed one of the strongest Sith of all time in both the old and the new canon.

Yeah; while Maul languished on a trash planet for a decade, Kenobi studied the blade.
I think the assumption might be that Peak Maul is TPM Maul.
Although this is the EU forum (default), and its confirmed in the EU that TCW Maul > TPM Maul. But then we also have to consider that Rebels isnt part of EU canon, so if we go by those rules then Kenobi never killed Maul.

I mean, it would only make sense given how the Rule of two Works, who his master was and the fact that every Sith Lord after him was an even more stupid powerhouse
Is your point that Kenobi would chop down a bunch of the Old time siths?

In Canon Fisto is considered top 25 Jedi ever of I recall correctly. Mace is in top 5. It’s not far-fetched that someone much stronger like Maul could be in the top 15 for instance.

And thats been a consistent statement in both continuities. Also consistent with the whole ideology of the Rule of Two.

Did Sidious really think Maul could ever be his successor? Seems to me like Maul was just a blunt instrument (no pun intended) and an enforcer he could use against his enemies until her found a good enough apprentice.
Of course he would always replace Maul if a better apprentice came along. Thats how the Rule of Two works. Heck Palpatine was ready to replace Vader as soon as Luke came along.
But (in canon at least), Sidious betrayed Mother Talzin just to get hold of Darth Maul due to his potential. So he was definitely intended to be trained as a Sith.
The EU had him as more of an assassin, blunt instrument. But that never really made much sense given the amount of time Palps must have personally put into training him.
Anyhow if TCW did not even convince people that Maul was more than just a blunt instrument, then him being brought back really was pointless.
