If a few disastrous tries in 3-5 are enough to make you question the damage mechanics of this game, you may wanna take a closer look at how much power each abyssal enemy has. Your example isn't representative of how dangerous and/or beneficial the cap lifting is.

Out of all the non-boss enemies, only Re-Elite and Wo-Flag/Kai variant II and more actually get a significant firepower boost, assuming Parallel engagement of course.
