Its not really an untapped potential. I'd say the damage is kinda as I expected, without Meiji Power, because I could pull similar damage with Anne to Saber enemies at similar condition.

From what I saw when using him:

First, as said, the damage is come from Meiji Power 100% Damage. So the actual output will be among 200-250k without Meiji Power and if applying similar buff at similar situation. At Lv. 90 it'll good enough to hit 300k+, but it would require a bit luck because 12k HP especially if you intent to deploy Merlin for his NP. Hijikata at Lv. 75 is 8k HP, so somewhat easier to do.

Second, unlike what you believed, he is nowhere like MHXA. He is closer to Anne and Rama. Especially Rama as his first skill is similar to Rama's Charisma, Disengage for Rama's Guts, while third skill is Rama's first skill (star absorb + crit up) now with certain niche.

Thanks to his third skill, you can rely on crits instead of pushing yourself for NP. Still that requires good amount of stars (and HP management to score higher). If you have good amount of 2030s, you can go with Quetz following your ideas, if not, I still recommend support-DPS above units like Quetz if anyone intent to deploy him for his maximum output.

He is not as fragile as MHXA, he is quite tough that Black Grail can be used on him.

But as his skill set is similar to Rama while carrying AQQBB cards, Quick Up + Buster Up CE is the safest CE to go with all kind of party.
