I personally don't think Pariston is likely to be very strong, and I think you've rated Gon, Killua, and Kurapika (w/o Emperor Time) far too high; they're not all that strong by HxH standards, stronger than most nen users definitely, but stronger guys are rarer than weaker guys so that doesn't say too much. There's a lot of talk about their potential, but that's still all it is: potential, they learned nen, I think still less than a year ago. They are not high tiers.
I haven't read the chimera ant arc in a while; I remember after the ants got nen that captains were something of a hassle, Owl and the one that was with Owl (wow, it really has been a while) for example, didn't do much to him in the long run, but were a significant challenge.
Compared to, say, Phinks one-shotting a captain, and realising that his attack was far stronger than it needed to be after doing so.
Pariston himself said he wasn't very strong; I know he's not the most trustworthy guy, but I believe him on this. It's not like he really needs strength with the his MO.

Gon was able to wipe the floor with them. But there nen was able to keep him in a area.Hold him off but not hurt him.
