Nice list and I would agree for the majority of it but you said regular Thanos. In a straight up fight of course Thanos will lose to top-tier opponents. However, if Thanos has prep and researched on his opponent beforehand and retrieved the necessary artefacts to power up himself or weaken the opponent, he would win more often than not.
Basically, who can beat Thanos with prep, that's the question. Apparently Thanos with prep can solo fiction.
Certain artifacts increase his power to a certain degree. The most notable of artifacts: Heart of the Universe > Infinity Gauntlet > Cosmic Cube. Let's say he were to use preparation time to get the strongest of the three, Heart of the Universe, he still couldn't solo all of fiction. Why? The One Above All, Pre-Recton Beyonder, Protégé, The Presence, Over Monitor, Man of Miracles, The Fulcrum, etc. would be more than sufficient enough to stop him. Not to mention all the gods that exist in historical/mythological texts, other fictional gods written in books and novels that equal HOTU Thanos's power such as Azathoth, ones in video games, animes, etc. etc. etc. Last but not least, Bugs Bunny would curbstomp Thanos regardless of prep and artifacts, but you said no toon-force, so I didn't mention him.
