The only real enhancements the Innovators seem to have is their previously established telepathy, the ability to live for long periods of time in space without any degradation of their bodies(like Soma), and potentially slightly enhanced reaction speed(as Revive notes about Setsuna that he "fights like an Innovator")
The problem is that, yes, they're sublimely overconfident in their own superiority. Against grunts, they'd probably be correct, but they're so certain of said superiority in combat that the minute someone's actually good enough to stand toe to toe with them, they're utterly shocked by it. See Bring Stability's death at the hands of Tieria, Divine's similar death simply for being in the way of the 00's Raiser System beam blade, and Anew's brutal beat down by Lyle. And that's not even counting the number of times Setsuna's absolutely owned them with the 00.
However, when you consider Ribbons' utter god complex, it's rather probable that sublime overconfidence is supposed to be his main flaw. Note how often he's unable to deal with setbacks he didn't foresee, and the other Innovators' shaken confidence when it turns out he doesn't know about the 00's systems. And furthermore, Bring might have been alive if Tieria still had his angst about being an Innovator to deal with, but Ribbons certainly shoved that aside when he made a point to jab Tieria so much about "becoming so much like a human".

waste."
