It's not necessary for anyone to catch up with them. A good story can still be written with the two still at the top. Heck, even with all the power-ups that they got, Naruto and Sasuke are barely on par with Hagoromo.

Besides, unlike anything you mentioned, Boruto has a unique case in which his karma's greatest strength is that it basically makes situations even by absorbing OP jutsus. That strength has a limit, in which it can't absorb anything formed out of physical matter. Even with the generic power boost, the Karma didn't make Boruto OP up until now that is.

Besides, the very first episode/chapter showed Boruto to be with a cursed seal, so IDK what you were expecting. Can't speak for Squinty, but I was expecting a generic power boost, not the possession of a dead Otsutsuki that allows Boruto to completely obliterate the opposition.
