Since statements can seem contradictory, I prefer to look at it from a purely narrative point of view. And in that sense, I think it instantly becomes clear that neither Gohan or Kefla were intended to be stronger than Goku.
Goku is considered to be Universe 7's best fighter, with Vegeta being on par with him. At no point this vision changed in the latest chapter. If anything, the fact that Gohan stepped in to fight Kefla in order to allow Goku to continue to fight the strongest on the ring without interference (just like in anime) further supports it. In the end, even Kefla acknowledged how strong Universe 7 was based on being incapable of beating Gohan.
One could think that Krillin's statement is questionable, but if one disregard that it doesn't make sense from a powerscaling point of view (after all, Toei and Toyotaro gave up, so why should we care anymore
), it actually doesn't contradict anything. Kale herself was never established to be at a level in which she could be a threat to Goku and Vegeta (when she attacked them, they were startled, but otherwise largely unharmed). And while she did beat up Freeza, it's made clear that it was because he underestimated her, instead of not being strong enough.
