The fact that this subreddit has some braindead people who use this page as definitive proof for the claim that Gojo is the strongest character in JJK is beyond delusion. This statement is from Chapter 16, yet you’re treating it as if Gege declared Gojo Top 1 for the entire manga until the end.
This is the official Japanese translation i.e., the actual words Gege Akutami wrote himself. Viz skipped over the word "currently" which is in this. First section is では現在作中最強とされている五と同じ術式さ持った術師が存在する? , relevant characters are 現在, which translates to "current," "now," or "present."
Japanese: 術式は遺伝することもあります。無下限呪術もその一つです。では現在作中最強とされている五条と同じ術式を持った術師が存在する?
English: Cursed techniques can also be hereditary. The Limitless cursed technique is one of them. So, is there a sorcerer who possesses the same technique as Gojo, who is currently regarded as the strongest in the work?
What the Japanese text actually says: 「では現在作中最強とされている五条…」 (Dewa genzai sakuchū saikyō to sarete iru Gojō...). A literal translation is: "So, does a sorcerer exist who possesses the same technique as Gojo, who is currently considered the strongest in the work...?"
