Makarov is unreliable story-wise because of old age + dying plot device.

Do not forget that they also got Gajeel and Juvia added to their ranks. Natsu himself is constantly played up as having great potential for being one of the strongest members. Elfman managed to unlock his true powers and he was played up as one of the stronger members back when he could only use one arm. Lucy has only increased in her number incredibly rare zodiac keys and is fast on her way to having the full set; I can also mention that Loki has grown stronger since joining her. Luxus's minions are also playing nice now and can be relied upon to help out. And Wendy, while she may not be to strong a fighter, is a very valuable support for any team... oh and also Gajeel got his awesome cat
And I should probably add that aside from master jose himself, the guild has so far managed to solve every problem they have come across without even really using the people you have mentioned... though I do think the Gildartz, after recovering, could have likely been able to deal with some of these matters himself, like Jose
