Plus there's people like Gaara, who were powerful enough to warrant Kage intervention. Even Naruto himself could call upon immense power when in need, even though he couldn't control it very well. Minato was also a legendary genius from a young age, so was Kakashi and so was Itachi.

Boruto isn't the first kid way too smart and powerful for his age.
