The Royal Guard are not JUST in the royal palace because of their contributions. 5, 5! of them are stronger than the ENTIRE Gotei 13, 13 means that even when Yamamoto was alive, their powers surpassed the Gotei. They exist to protect the Spirit King and his palace, they won't be pushovers, the only demonstrations of any kind of strength was from Tenjiro, who proved much, much, MUCH faster than Soi Fon. Not to mention he has pretty good physical strength too.
