Ok some things to keep in mind... her Offense, Intelligence, Kidō and Strength stats are all equal or greater than Aizen's.

Noting the Offense and Strength in particular, I seriously doubt those stats are there just for the lulz.

And the speculation about her Shikai mirroring her Bankai are pointless. Soifon, Ichigo, hello? She is one of the oldest and most experienced captains, pretty much up there with Kyōraku and Ukitake, none of which have shown their Bankai. Hell, hers and Kyōraku's Shikai pretty much LOOK like a bankai.

And to think that her Bankai is limited to one purpose is unimaginative as well. For example, Byakuya is far from senior status among the captains, and look at his. Senkei, Gōkei and Shūkei Hakuteiken, all pretty diverse from one another.

Plus, just on a side note, just LOOK at Minazuki's spirit form. That's effing creepy.
