As long as it is aligned and not deformed, and the teeth are not worn, an fsa crank will function and shift as good as a dura ace crankset.
Sorry but you are wrong. Take a close look at a good Shimano crank. The teeth are shaped in such a way to improve shifting. There are also little ramps on the chainrings, which also improve shifting. It’s not just the weight.
As I said above, the performance of your crank (and brakes) is adequate. I would not say it’s bad.. But to say they are the same is simply not true.
