Just for the sake of providing a rebuttal,

With your point surrounding Onoki besting gravity, I think it depends. Onoki might be able to fly on planet Earth, which has a fixed strength of its gravitational pull, but Deva path can weaken or strengthen its gravitational pull, so if Nagato saw Onoki flying off, he'd increase the power of Bansho Tenin. It also begs the question of whether you think Onoki would be able to fly in Kaguya's intense gravity dimension.

I don't think Nagato's Asura path extensions would survive a heavy blow from the Raikage, so Nagato's only method of avoiding it in that scenario is wrapping the Asura wires around the Raikage to restrict a punch somehow. Probably really difficult to execute.

There's a little plot hole surrounding the King of Hell, where the King of Hell was only visible to those who were about to be interrogated by it. It's also why when Ebisu went to save Konohamaru, he didn't see the King of Hell, and was kicked right through the King of Hell, not aware of its presence. But then, Itachi was able to throw kunai at the King of Hell's eyes, disproving that. Perhaps Kabuto made it visible to all of them, or he was not aware of that particular facet. Point is, King of Hell could remain visible to Ay and not the other Kage, maintaining shared vision. Bit of a reach I know, but eh.

The situation that you've got Nagato in is a bit difficult to think of ways to get out. If he preserved Shinra Tensei, he'd be able to just do a fat Shinra Tensei and blow them all way, including Gaara's sand.

I think I could argue that Nagato could take the Raikage's punch relatively easily, considering a grey-haired crippled Nagato took a Bijuu-amped Lariat to the stomach from Bee, and acted like nothing happened whilst sapping his chakra. So that makes me confident in a healthy Nagato with Asura armour ontop of him to tank one or two hits at least until the Shinra Tensei interval wears off.
