I don't see him reacting in time to Boruto Stream for instance, nor do i see him escaping that water+lighting attack that he used against Naruto. And if Boruto would've known at that time how OP his vanishing rasengan is, that battle would've ended in a heart beat.

I hope the will dig more in the chunin exams matches in the anime and explain some stuffs. shikadai said that (in novel again) that he had a counter for everything he knew that boruto could do against him, and a counter for things he didn't even know he could do.

The way you are putting this seems like Shikadai can predict the future and is almost invincible since he has a counter for everything.
