His courage could be a little down. He runs away kind of a lot. Similar to Kano.

Only when outnumbered. Or if he has other matters to attend to. Some characters with strong wills also fall back if needed to.

Sure, I guess.

Isn't Current Timeline Shang Tsung as strong as Alternate Shang Tsung with Kronika crown and post absorbed her? In that case i don't think any of his stats should be lower than 9 in the worst case and in the best case it should be 10 everywhere.

No, he’s weaker than Alternate Timeline Shang Tsung with and without the Crown of Kronika.

We don’t know that if he is not as strong as his alternate counterpart. But so far I think he’s nearly as strong as his counterpart in some ways, but since this is the start of the new iteration, we need more evidence that he is either stronger or weaker than his alternate self.

It would make sense for him to be weaker. I feel like Alternate Timeline had more expansions with his sorcery than we thought.

His true potential happened in his story chapter near the end of Aftermath. In Mortal Kombat Onslaught, MK1 Shang Tsung had a story of his own. It shown that he was able to defeat powerful characters like Shao Kahn, Shinnok, and even Raiden and Fujin combined.
