Saw a review saying the power scaling was off and strange in this 3 episode arc. I disagree. I think the arc actually mostly takes place before Rimiru becomes a demon lord
The power scaling makes more sense from that perspective.

Yup, you are right. This OVA takes place after S1 and before the events of S2 like how we saw Rimuru still teaching the kids in Ingracia. It even says in MAL synopsis the same thing. IDK how people still don't understand this.

It's kinda Upto you to decide. The short story is written by Fuze, the original author of the series which was released along with S2 Blu-ray but the characters here (except only Violet, Luminous and the end-credit characters) and the location in which the story takes place are all original and are not part of the manga nor the LN. It doesn't contradict anything in the source material but they are also not universally canon.

Yes Scarlet Bond is in the same league.

I guess Rimuru becoming an adventurer and His adventures isn't important in the overall narrative than the civilization and world-building aspect of the series.

he learned how to summon demons, coat his weapons in aura and got identification. I think he also became an A rank adventurer which is contradicted in this filler.

Except summoning demons, it isn't that important. Rimuru just can learn to coat his weapons in his aura by Great Sage and also through Hakurou's training by combining his Arts. Also he doesn't become an A-Rank adventurer and remains B+ only even in the novels which he mentioned in Volume 8 as it is too much hassle and being B+ already gives him many benefits and he doesn't want to stand out by taking more jobs by being an A-rank adventurer.

Edit: Damnit, I didn't realise I never mentioned The OP's post.

yes indeed
later the queen told that that rimuru became the demon king. and in the end of the episode 3 it was shown that the pink haired demon's (I actually don't know the name) next target is the queen of Raja Kingdom.
as a conclusion we can tell that this arc is way before rimuru became the demon king.
