If we're talking AP showings, he was able to harm Jigen who's stronger than Naruto.
And it was even implied he could slice K2 Jigen's head off, who's WAY stronger than Naruto.
The anime further showed their relative AP.
And he was probably able to harm even Isshiki.
How would Likely 312.8 ZT even work when they're both Planet level? At least Planet level, likely higher? It just seems really unnecessary when Adult Naruto~Adult Sasuke is one of the clearest scalings in the Narutoverse with some of the most evidence. It's not "objective," but the same is true of plenty of other characters who have a solid rating without the likely (for example, Jiraiya scales to Orochimaru, when as far as we know, that could be because of his hax and speed rather than AP, considering he has stuff like the toad mouth trap and the dimension sealing trap and sealing jutsu, etc.).
Technically, VSBW doesn't accept the novelization of Boruto the Movie as canon, that was just supplementary evidence that Naruto and Sasuke are portrayed as equal across all medias. The strength in numbers thing doesn't literally mean that a teamup is an exponential boost, just that teaming up with someone can give you greater strength than you can accomplish on your own. And even besides that, there's still the fact that 100% Juubi Jigen needed to use the Karma against Naruto when 10% Base Jigen matched Koji. That's pretty much as blatant as you can get (and still the Kakashi stuff I've brought up several times). I can accept SM Koji being above Delta since he was Delta's superior on the mission, but Base Koji is basically impossible to resolve with other showings. Koji even briefly questioned if Naruto could've beaten Jigen on his own before denying the possibility, while he knew full well he couldn't beat Jigen even with SM, letalone in base where he's far weaker. He also stated that he might be able to take down Jigen when he has almost no chakra, again despite having SM.
By the way, why a likely for Sasuke when there's far more evidence in his support while Base Koji is straight up 5-B? Just like with Sasuke, a big part of Koji's style is his hax, so even if he scales over Delta (which he doesn't), that could be cause of hax. If anything, Sasuke and Koji's ratings should be switched around.
He could've been planning to seal her, then before she realized what was happening and tried to absorb it, he'd attack her vulnerable body. Again, we don't know. Just like offscreen fights aren't used for scaling on VSBW, I don't think a vague implication of the outcome of a fight that didn't happen is enough for concrete scaling, at least not when stronger evidence contradicts it.
100% sure sasuke couldn't cut jigen head off tho and never actually damages him ,
I think isshiki is one that just likes to show case his abilities
We know sasuke couldn't even come close to cutting momoshike neck before momo even fully completed his fusion
And jigen is clearly stronger / when jigen Allowed himself to get hit by black fire he literally laughed it off before collecting it's chakra . Black fire >>> sasuke sword strikes on a average
