I see it the other way. If Konan is able to freely manipulate paper, to decompose something into small sheets of paper and then reassemble it, then it means cutting her paper is completely useless since she can just reattach it. And if that's true then Temari's slicing wind is completely useless, since whenever she cuts the paper will just reassemble. Unfortunately these secondary characters like Konan and Temari are usually given only one strong jutsu and usually some slight variations in it, then maybe a few lesser support jutsu, so if Kishimoto really had them fight in 1on1 then he would probably invent many more jutsu for them. What i mean is that these characters seem weaker because they don't get enough screen time. Based on the story most likely Kishimoto wanted them to be: Tsunade (kage) > Konan (akatsuki) > Temari (elite jounin).
