Again, we're talking from an in-universe perspective, not an out-of-universe one.

"Not that he would have done any better if he had arrived at the SS's location."

lol, did you even notice how incredibly pathetic Dimaria's reaction time and defense is? The moment Jellal would have obtained Ultear's support, he would have done to Dimaria what Killua did to Rammot (I fangasmed at that scene, so have to mention it :P). God Soul would not even have been deployed. And an uninjured Jellal could have just sauntered off to help his lady love, while the healers would also have escaped unscathed.
