[Star Wars] Did Obi Wan really become more powerful than Darth Vader could ever imagine?

I don't really see how being a force ghost made him more powerful in any way. He lacked a physical body to be able to do anything outside of communicating with Luke, which he could have done by being like... alive and not a force ghost. Maybe they needed some galactic walkie talkies, at most to accomplish everything Ben accomplished after he became a force ghost.

Was there any power he got from becoming a force ghost that wasn't mentioned? Does Vader just have an incredibly bad imagination?

I think it has to do with the jedi view of the force. In death, Obi Wan's consciousness becomes part of the force which ties every living thing together. In a sense, he obtained what Palpatine could only dream of, immortality. Of course, if you only think of power in terms of how much you can physically harm others, Obi Wan's claim seems ridiculous.
