Yeah, but the main problem is the fact he didn't get a real chance to show his actual battle prowess. His contrubution in the FSWW outcome and his multiple feats aren't questioned, but you know, he's the famed Yellow Flash, who was feared so badly during the previous shinobi world war and essentially the key figure to the Konoha's success in it. In the Edo form he did even get an additional powerup (i.e., Yin Kurama), but acted mostly as a support, not as a major combatant, and what did we see: one of his trumpcard techniques (i.e. this) - foiled in the process > one arm chopped off. OK, what's next? Again, support for Naruto/Sasuke (along with Tobirama) > still turned out useless. Mocked by Obito and couldn't do anything to deny it > only his son stands up for him. Saving the whole shinobi army - ok, it's a real feat, but again, not without Naruto and his plan. Beginning to participate in the fight by himself, with Tailed Beast Mode and this colossal Rasengan - nope, dude, your attacks blocked and TBM foiled by Shinju appearance. Couldn't do anything against the damned Tree - had to lend his remaining Kurama chakra to Naruto, so he could fight Obito. Connected the shinobi army to turn them into the support for Naruto when pulling out the TB chakra from Obito - again, only a support role. Also couldn't do anything at all against BZ when he coated Obito, used Rinne Tensei and took control over his body. Tried to save his own son - nope, not this time, BZ is smarter and just steals Yin-Kurama. Tries to act again against BZ and TTJ-Madara - nice try, say goodbye to your second arm. From that moment, there's nothing he could do, but the supporting actions. His farewell to Naruto was highly dramatic, but doesn't change the fact that the Yellow Flash was humilated as a battleworthy shinobi despite all the fame during his lifetime.
