Notable energy projection feats from Thor include:
-Amped Mjolnir throw surging with the energy of hundreds of suns
-The Anti-Force, which was capable of destroying a planet
-The Godblasts
-Contributing 1/4 of the energy needed to effect countless dimensions and realities
-Tearing through dimensions
-Generating a cosmic hurricane which consisted of the hurricanes of a thousand worlds while fighting Glory.
No, the feats, given the context of them, (the amped Mjolnir throw actually being capable of harming Surtur w/Twilight and the cosmic hurricane causing Glory pain for the first time), there's no reason to assume they're hyperbolic statements or anything.

I thought that they were meant as a hyperbole as Thor happens to brag about his power a lot. Though the feat from Thor corps is not strictly an energy projection feat, otherwise superman singing out darkseid would've been applicable too.
Thor does like to wax on about whatever, but those high end feats speak for themselves. Considering how grossly overpowered Surtur with Twilight was, and the fact that even he felt the need to block that attack, I have no reason to doubt that Mjolnir is capable of such power, especially considering Thor took his time generating it and the act actually was harming him in the process. The heat of a thousand suns is still underneath elite Skyfather power, imo, which is what Odin and Surtur were packing, both with galactic level feats under their belt. The cosmic hurricane is reinforced with the fact that Thor isn't limited to Earthly storm summoning and the winds of a thousand worlds being able to harm an entity such as Glory makes sense considering.
As far as the Thor Corps thing goes, I don't see how it's not strictly energy projection as they literally summon the mystic energy from within their hammers to bolster endless collapsing realities/dimensions. Unless you're disbarring it because of the sheer high end scale of it.
Nope, I just thought that it was a hyperbole because of thor bragging and narrative hyperboles which were abundant in that era. High scale? We're talking about big bangs and stuff. Though to think about it while thor needed help to do such a thing, kal once just rubbed his hands together and stopped time-space from collapsing or once just vibrated and saved the omniverse and Superman whistling darkseid away and powering miracle machine is still a better feat though. Poor surfer.

You can believe the "heat of a thousand suns" to be hyperbolic, but considering everything Thor, Odin, and Surtur had done in comics up to that point, there's no real reason to think it was. Superman's heat vision burns much hotter than the sun with no known upper limit, so Mjolnir being able to generate that much heat to be a threat to Surtur with Twilight doesn't strike me as impossible or even implausible considering how haxxed Mjolnir can be.
Yeah, I think generating enough energy to help prevent the multiverse from collapsing unto itself is high scale. Could just be me, though. Infinite realities were being threatened and 1/4 of the power needed to prevent infinite scale destruction is...well, you know.
Yeah, Norrin gets overlooked in this contest either way.

Honestly surprised these feats haven't been condemned as PIS considering the drastic and absurd scale of difference between them and the norm of what these guys are capable of. Well beyond "herald" class in any case.
That fissure was causing entire time-space continuum to collapse just like in your example. That was why superman ended in The Next's world in the first place. Superman sealed it off saving infinite realities. He did it once before when a phantom planet was threatening to collapse entire omniverse. He vibrated the entire planet in another dimension.
While probably not the most impressive, Hal's Krona-busting blast is worth mentioning, as he [Krona] had control over every emotional entity/power at the time...
