Yes there is power creep with these two villains who Sasuke speculates is from Otsutsuki clan (remember Sasuke was searching dimensions trying to figure out Kaguya's plans). One of these two new Otsutsuki villians, the one who did not fight Sasuke but did fight Killer Bee, has a white hand and a black hand and rinnegan in the palm of each hands. He absorbed the tailed beast ball from Killer B with his right hand which is the color white (probably similar to Preta path), and the returned the attack and amplified its power with the left hand which is black. This same villain that Sasuke did not fight also have two byakugan in his normal eye sockets.

Now the rinnegan in the palms of each hand are unlike Danzo's implanted sharingan, we see his hands with the rinnegan open and active like you have your eyelids open, but we also see his hands at other times with the same white black coloring but the rinnegan is not there similar to the eyelid being closed. In sasuke's situation with the rinnegan the rinnegan can remain on but if he does not recharge his chakra he can only use it for so long before it deactivates, he then can keep the eye open and still use his sharingan and mangekyou sharingan but not the rinnegan abilities. Or he can close his rinnegan eye to recharge it faster. In Naruto the last movie as well as the Naruto Gaiden the Seventh Hokage (the one that focused on Sarada Uchihia) we see that Sasuke's rinnegan will retain the circles all the time but it is not fully active until the 6 tomoe appear and Sasuke can turn on and off the six tomoe.

But on the subject of power creep. Yes we are going to see some villains that are strong enough to fight Naruto and Sasuke just from a narrative standpoint if the goal is to kill these two demigods in some sort of battle.

That said I would not be surprised that most of the villains instead of the big bad will be fighting at early Shippuden / Part 2 power levels instead of the insane power levels that we saw in the 10 Tails / Madara / Kaguya levels. This is to allow Boruto, Sarada, and their team mate Mitsuki to have room to grow.

We already know that Sarada is roughly early Shippuden / Part 2 levels due to her having similar strength as her mother Sakura during her fight with Sasori, plus Sarada has a very early Sharingan.

We also know that Mitsuki can access sage mode though so far he has not demonstrated any form of mastery and this sage mode only seems to work when Mitsuki is emotionally aroused similar to how in Naruto before the time skip when the Kyuubi chakra can appear if Naruto was angry or in danger.

So regardless of the fact all three team members are still technically genins who are about to take the Chunin exams, it is obvious that in a real life power level these team members are at least Chunin level and maybe weak Jonin level.

As for the technology that allows people to use ninja techniques without mastering chakra or learn clans special abilities, it was kinda of a narrative neccessity. If the villages are working together instead of feuding, you had to create a way for outsiders to accumulate power easily to be serious villains. Thus it was going to be something like they came from another dimension, or they are using biology and cloning to create soldiers (this was done before with the Zetsus), and I think a more technology based explanation was one that made narrative sense.

Now another option instead of technology providing tm like ninja abilities was some form of secret society that was working within the villages and plans to undermine them from within, like a secret cult who finally declare themselves as the villains. Since it is a secret society, this society could recruit from the existing Chunin and Jonins. If they went this route arguably they could create a different style of manga where it is a secret war where the heroes are fighting terrorists but since you do not know what side each of these people are on, you will see a lot more sneaking, spying, and ninja like behavior where the goal is to locate this secret society and destroy it from within.
