Boruto is highly intelligent... that can be said without a doubt.

the stats of Boruto manga are just wanky, better ignored.

Boruto at the age of twelve has high level jutsu under his belt like the Kage Bunshin, Rasengan, Purple Ligtning (according to the database) and has mastered three elements. this would mean that he is a super shinobi for his age.

But are you guys forgetting that the generation of Jiraiya, Minato, Kakashi were either Jonin and Chunin around the age. they are bound to have multiple jutsu under their belt and have at least mastered a couple of nature transformations. Kakashi even created the Chidori.

Boruto cannot come to compare with this people.

those of Naruto's generation could have also been on par with Boruto an his generation, but Kishi decided to start their genin life from almost zero and build them up from there. that was kishi's plot.

also, the idea that Boruto learned everything by watching is stupid. he doesnt have the Sharingan. he is a privileged child. he is bound to have been instructed by the likes of Kakashi, Konohamaru, Naruto, Hinata and others in learning what he has, even if they never have shown such a thing. it is the only way he can learn techniques like Kage Bunshin, Purple Lightning and Juken.
