Well...yes and no? Sometimes they're that, sometimes they represent royalty, sometimes they represent (or are) gods/divine beings. This is true in D&D, too; what place do genius-level intellect and unrivaled magical power have in a hurricane allegory?
The thing dragons have in common is power. They are powerful, and the things they represent are as well. Overly Sarcastic Productions has a video about them here. Kaiju, being more recent, have a more specific set of cultural associations; they generally represent what a culture fears. There's an OSP video on them as well.


But that's off-topic.

When push comes to shove, and your traditional format of the class is taken to its logical limits without campy role breaking artifacts, is the character class capable of matching near godzilla level threats, or completely outmatched?
That depends on what you define each class's role as, what limits you deem "logical," and where you draw the line for camp. Without knowing anything about the game these classes are supposed to go into—not even basic information like genre or tone—there can be no meaningful answers.
