If Cu can withstand Gil that good, than Gil won't sit on 'strongest Servant' seat right now.

During FSN the only Servants managed to surprise him are Herc, because his tenacity which Gil himself admit he want God Hand for his collection, and Arthuria, because Avalon.

Have you ever seen Gil felt that dealing with Cu is worth his attention. Nope. Not happened. As much Cu can hold him for twelve hours, Gil himself never truly bothered. He just stalled, that's all. And that's not only because Battle Continuation as he also have Disengage and Protection of Arrow that might affect his fight with Gil.

Its hard to say Kirei order became deciding factor as we've seen some Servant can resist command spell to some extent when taking decision. On similar case Karna have Jinako, worst Master of CCC, and Gil still admit Karna is competent warrior despite having Jinako nerfed Karna really hard.

Gil's Gae Bolg while it clashed with Cu's Gae Bolg do have good chance to withstand Cu's spear throwing due to Gil's have better property being 'original version of Gae Bolg'.

If Gil take it seriously, by means of using his full power, no playing like when we faced Tiamat. Gil can simply pull Caladbolg from Gate of Babylon, and Cu defeat is inevitable due to Cu nature that he have to lose against Caladbolg owner.

Defending against Gae Bolg requires omnidirectional protection, yes, and Gil do have things like that.

Gil seems stupid because overconfident, but he did aware that his GoB store counters and secrets of Heroic Spirits. If Cu not get his attention after the tenacious battle, he's just like other Servants, good but sorry, not on Gil standard. Even Saber + Avalon not stand a chance against serious Gil.

Gil had appear on many Fate franchise since FSN, and with that he displays many sides of him as well as his strength. FSN Gil is obsolete as bar to gauge Gil strength; you can bring Cu's tenacity on discussion table about "Who can defeat Gil", however I'm sure that it won't stand long as most Fate discussion nowadays recognized "Serious Gil" above the "Overconfident Gil".
