I'm basing my judgment off their big ships, not the dumbass-looking single-man pogo sticks. The Agrius and the ones that look like they took an old WW2-era battleship and put a levitation drive in it.
Am I saying they're invincible? No. But can a mechanist with a couple of up-sized versions of his main hand grafted to the side of a chocobo take one down solo? Also no. Until and unless Eorzea acquires some serious firepower in the way of armor-piercing munitions, the only surefire tactics for downing one of their big airships is to board it and destroy it from within (something they're uniquely weak to given their large open-air observation decks) or have a dozen thaumaturges commit suicide by way of completely expending all their aether to magic the hell out of it.
Having leveled my first character alongside a summoner and seen pretty well what an egi can do, I doubt a SMN's Garuda can sink one either. Make life difficult for them? Sure. But then they hit you with a cannon.
