The Wonderbolts I can say are reliably pulling the kind of feats we're discussing. Their defeats/failure in a fight I can excuse as them being glass cannons and not fully military. (That their actually military is worse in a least Wonderbolts are capable outside a fight is another issue.)
The Crystal War timeline from the S5 finale is the apparent best case for their military capacity, with the average guard adequate to hold the line and Earth and Pegasi elite units capable of the high end feats. But even then they didn't have Unicorns elite enough to use shields or high end spells Equestria would need to offset human firearms. Thus my argument that not enough ponies would be capable of the high end feats calculated to make it a curb stomp against humanity. (If their toon physics durability makes them bullet resistant that might change things.)
