I think so too!

Strength shouldn't be what decides everything. I would hate that being the case. But power still decides a lot. That's what power stands for: "The capability to accomplish something". So don't worry you haven't been reading the series completely wrong if you can distinguish strength and power. Because power would be the unified word for all the capicities an individual has to succeed in things. (physical strength, wit, creativity,... they're different in every person, but are all considered characteristics which enables a person to get things done).

And I can't deny that physically strong character have a higher chance to be useful in critical moments, like we've seen with the compactor. If she wasn't that strong, she would've been crushed alongside Re:Crew. But her physical strength saved Re:crew.

But I can't help but notice Ishida has been increasing the gap in strength between certain ghouls. In TG it wasn't all that clear yet, but now you've got Kaneki, Arima, Eto, Furuta, Takizawa, Amon (,Tatara) clearly hovering above the others. + they're all quite smart too.

So once again, what individual influence can Re;crew characters have on the plot when they're surrounded by strong characters who are also intelligent and unperdictable?

I can only see them having an obedient role, where they follow Kaneki. Or they go back to the coffee shop and will be the characters to occassionally fill us in on vague topics. They'll become like Itori from TG. Do you see them mixing themselves in V, Aogiri and CCG business at this point? I don't, really. Why would they suddenly have an interest in all that, when they've been trying so hard to stay out of it and building up a new life. Seems like it would all be for naught if the mix themselves in the plot too much. That is ofcourse assuming that the plot will progress towards the revelation of V.
