This is the best Bengals team (on paper) in a while

No way can I say that at all at this time.

Last year, the most points they put against a team with at least 8 wins was 20 (and that was Week 1 vs Seattle).
They were third-worst in Points For over the season.

Do Green, Burrow, Higgins, Jonah Williams, and XSF turn this offense into a team that scores league average or above? I don't believe so.

I think a more realistic expectation is that the offense and defense get closer to the league average (but not above) and we see 6-8 wins.
This OL will need to gel again (remember that 2 of the 5 starters are gone now) as well as the QB with the receivers.
The LBs will need time to acclimate too.
