Not sure what my previous opinion on this was, but I actually believe that since the terms "x is a y level shinobi" have been used in the canon itself, we shouldn't ignore it. I recall as early as Chunin Exams, the guy told Sasuke that he is at least Chunin level despite being a Genin. So we should mention it, but only if it was stated, not our assumptions, like "x must definitely be a Kage level" or so.
