I think that sort of lies at the heart of the issue - is the character's Sue-ness directly linked to their conflict? Because if they are Super Special and this connects directly to what they actually need to achieve, that can get annoying. But if they're Special but the narrative isn't really about that, everything looks different.
Like you said, it's obvious that Utena is going to win most of these duels, because she has to. The tension is never about whether she'll win, but about the emotions at stake and the lesson.
Unlike, say, a lot of shounen series, where it is just about them being strong and beating the enemy.

(it's funny, 'cause the fic I'm writing now has an MC who is way overpowered... but he keeps on getting put into these situations where his strength is simply not what's going to save the day, and the real question is less "will he win", and more "will he survive the process emotionally")
