^I agree with your overall conclusion, but as one of the people who supported DZ I have a few nitpicks.

"The comics aren’t canon as far as I can tell"

It's been confirmed that DB is including comics for both characters.

"The PR Boom Comics, on the other hand, are canon and exists in the same continuity"

Source? AFAIK nothing/no one has ever stated this, and the Power Rangers wiki considers it "alternative canon".

"it is able to fight Rita’s monsters, which are amped specifically by Rita’s magic"

I agree that it should scale to Rita's AP (though some of the others disagreed on that), but not because of this. Rita empowering her monsters with her magic does not necessarily make them as powerful as she is.

"Rita once used here magic to move the moon to create a solar eclipse, which would require the force of 148 teratons of TNT"

Firstly, 148 teratons is large country level, the calc in question was 158 zettatons.

Second, I touched on this briefly in my verdict, but there are a massive amount of caveats with this feat that make it unreliable to use in an argument. It was never once specified how Rita did it, first of all, she could have moved the moon, or she could have created a mass of magic that obstructed the sun's light, or she could have used an artifact to do it, etc. There are too many unknowns. Combined with the fact that it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaay higher than any other feat in MMPR (the next best feat being 1.7 BILLION times lower), it becomes incredibly unreasonable to argue that this is a level of power that the Zords could consistently scale to.

"Even if we took it as real, it would only be around Planet level, meaning the Dragonzord can still harm it."

I agree that it's dubious to consider it a real black hole for many of the reasons you stated, but this is untrue. Using the Schwarzschild Radius formula and e=mc^2, it would be in the solar system level range if taken as a legit black hole.
