First off, I wasn't specifically addressing you, I addressed your topic very briefly and then diverged so not all of it was addressed  to you.

And now the argument. For 1 I wasn't saying his powers aren't strong I was saying they aren't as varied and so cannot be applied to every situation. His tactic seems to be blast an overwhelmingly (OP) powerful blast of wind and then its over as shown by your 2 quotes.

Plus, Nico's powers don't drain him THAT much. Its perceived as that because he is always facing ridiculously strong opponents or using them in dire life-or-death situations. I'm sure against a more human(and therefore more on-par) Nicos powers wouldn't drain him that much as they do in his many, many difficult experiences. Albeit they still would drain him, but not for the days or weeks as shown int the books.

Also, They could take out Thalia first and then Jason defeating both and THEN passing out for whatever extent. And your Last paragraph proves my point. Jason can't summon his Venti like Nico can summon the dead. Nico's immediately come while Jason's are always already near so we don't really know  how long they take. If Nico summons his dead, they cannot and will not be defeated. And also, Jason's Storm Spirits are never shown to be invincible as Nico's skeletal warriors are. Just because Jason is the only one who defeated them dosn't mean he is the only one who can. Absence of evidence is not evidence of absence.
