Laios is definitely a bit of a scatterbrain, despite being quite competent, and at times very intelligent. Monsters to him are like trains or monster trucks to a kid, endlessly fascinating.
I suspect he and Falin have been a two for one deal for a good few years, and that they kind of complete each other in a way that we can't see, as Falin isn't around.
He hasn't made any lethal mistakes yet, aside from the one at the start which might be explained away by the hunger the entire party was feeling at the time. That time, his focus got derailed by "this isn't going well" while the time he fought the living armor he was actively figuring out the situation and only slightly delayed applying what he learned due to his enthrallment. Everyone has screwed up at least once by now, with the rest of the party making up for the mistake to keep them alive.
We do also see Laios being an effective party lead a lot, his mediation of the emotional tension between Marcille and Chilchuck on the second floor. His instant decision for the guys to be a diversion while Marcy hits the Kraken with magic. Snapping Chilchuck out of the trance induced by the mermaids (which didn't affect Laios at the same distance, due to his shittier human hearing).
He seems to do his thing without even thinking, and while the rest hardly consider him flawless, each time things go wrong they very clearly organize around him to deal with it.
