Alright, this has been coming from a long time.
The argument
The entire thing is, again, based on Dio being weaker than his Part 1 self due to Jonathan's body rejecting him. And as you can see, the regeneration is slowed on the left part of his body, as also shown from Dio's regeneration not being as powerful as it is normally when his head is hit on the left side, when in Part 1 he's fine with his entire body being sliced in half, head included.
Another supportive evidence:
Counter-arguments
Alright, even here, let's counter some shit that can be used against this...
Conclusion
Dio Brando should be MFTL via upscaling from his (base) Part 3 self.
Post-Deep Pass Overdrive Jonathan Joestar should scale too for obvious reasons, as Dio was causal asf all the time with other characters, and MFTL Straizo implies MFTL Pre-training Joseph with is bad, so only Peak Part 1 Dio and Peak Jonathan should scale from this.

Another supportive evidence:
- The Over Heaven novel, where it's stated that Dio cannot control well its vampiric powers due to Jonathan's body rejecting him.
- Dio straight up becoming stronger than he ever was after absorbing Joseph's body, and with the databook saying that Dio becomes stronger the more he is in sync with Jonathan's body.
Counter-arguments
Alright, even here, let's counter some shit that can be used against this...
- But Dio got MFTL only after getting a stand
- But that would make Part 1 > Part 3 in stats
