Lucy's a victim of plot-dumb ( niceness ), more than anything else.

Loke can summon himself for a sustainable amount of time while not losing any or much battle strength. Gemini allows her to copy 2 mages for 5 minutes, have their powers and memories at the moment of copy.

These 2 alone means Lucy is a fighting force worth of 4, since even against a weaker opponent, Gemini can just copy Lucy for a double Celestial Mage summoning action. If only she was half as smart as Angel, she'd be up there along with Fried and base!Natsu as the 'just below S-class.'

As for Lucy's mana pool, it's actually praised, not looked down upon. Apparently most Celestial mages can only summon one a time. Lucy and Angel can manage sustaining 2 at the same time while still being able to fight with them. Plus Lucy summoned 3-4 consecutively against Angel, and still has enough mana to use a high level spell.

At times, it's hard to really gauge Lucy's strength properly. Virgo, whose ugly gorilla form actually managed to wrestle with Natsu for a bit, is sometimes 'lol useless fanservice spirit' and other times, strong in using her digging ability against enemies like Byro. Plus the rest of her spirits not named Loke and Aquarius are kinda under-used seriously, despite them supposed to get stronger as Lucy does as well.
