The only thing that was confirmed in that image was Jiren being stronger than his god. Nothing confirmed about Beerus.
Beerus debunked Whis saying he never lost in combat, only in arm wrestling, in his career.
If Beerus lost in an arm wrestling, then that means that in terms of physical strength, he is weaker. And Jiren is even stronger than this GoD, according to Whis.
Even if you want to consider just the talk that Jiren is on the same level as a GoD (in this case, speech is generalizing all GoDs, as if Jiren were in the same realm of power), he got much stronger then he overcame this level (he was able to beat MUI for a while)
Doesn't matter if Jiren got stronger during his fight with UI Goku. His plot didn't change. He was still only stronger than Belmond. Never stated to be stronger than anyone else.
Also, Beerus losing in arm wrestling does not mean he is physically weaker. Hence why Beerus clarified what he lost in. Combat is where strength is exemplified in Dragonball and Beerus let it be clearly known. You saying he is physically weaker through arm wrestling totally contradicts the dialogue. BTW, Beerus didn't say to whom he lost in arm wrestling cause the speech was not specific between he and Whis. The point is, no one confirmed Beerus being weaker than anyone.
In the anime, Jiren was never specified to be stronger only than Belmod. In addition to Whis confirming that Jiren was above a GoD (who was above Beerus or at least at the same level, if you want to consider arm wrestling), we also have a talk about him being on the same level as the GoDs (as I said , this phrase is generalizing all GoDs, you can not say that Beerus is simply much stronger than all). So, FP Jiren has at least the same level of Beerus, and after breaking his limits he got much stronger (overcoming MUI Goku), and this strongly indicates that he overcame Beerus.
We have several statements that indicate that Jiren overcame the GoDs in the anime, so I do not see why it is absurd to consider him to be stronger than Beerus.

The difference is that we now have explicit statements about Jiren overcoming Beerus (whereas in the case of SSB KK it was just an assumption of some people who were still based on information from the film or who did not find Beerus much stronger than SSB).
I'd say it is nearly the exact same situation. Nothing explicit comes to mind regarding statements proving Jiren is stronger than Beerus. We have some comparisons to side characters whose strength we haven't completely gauged, that's all. Belmod is (predictably) a wild card in all this.
Of course, all this can change and they can simply say that in fact Beerus was stronger than all and just hid their power, but so far Jiren is definitely superior.
Definitely is a strong word as there are no definitive statements that Jiren is stronger than Beerus. I respect if that's your opinion though, as its all we have at this point.
In the manga, Beerus is not a "totally different" level of the other GoDs, he is trapped by Belmod's techniques, and at the end of the fight we see him hurt, as well as all the other GoDs. It only bypassed the attacks of some GoDs in the beginning (trying to use the UI), but failed
Beerus basically clowned (no pun intended) every GoD he fought in the exhibition. The fact that it started as all vs. one is a good indicator of his greater level of skill and power. And in the end, only he and the mouse were the last two standing. Beerus didn't seem to have much trouble with Belmod at all and his injuries were much less extreme than everyone elses seeing as how he had the endurance to last until the end.
This is controversial, but I also think there are less overall tiers of power in the manga compared to the anime, so serious Beerus' feat of utterly decimating CSSB Vegeta before the ToP is a good indicator of how he'd stack up to Jiren, as Jiren had a decent fight with the Vegetable while the Vegetable was somewhat fatigued after his Toppo fight. Vegetable did increase in power during the ToP (Jiren stated as much), but there's no indicator, no statement that Vegetable was even close to the Beerus that completely shut him down only a short time prior (I think it was only a few days) and even if he got 3x as strong he'd still be lacking compared to the serious Beerus he fought. Jiren took some time and more than a few blows to put down Vegeta temporarily while serious Beerus put Vegeta down for some time with a single blow.
Compare the "Don't get cocky" moment from the Beerus v. Vegeta fight to Jiren's "Don't think for a second that you can defeat me," moment. In both he stands no chance, but he's way more outclassed in one compared to the other.
It's not just my opinion, we have statements from probably one of the most reliable characters in DB (Whis), indicating that Jiren is at the same level as a GoD (generalizing, considering all GoDs and not putting Beerus on a level above all of them ). And that was before Jiren had a considerable power up, which further reinforces these claims.
Beerus was only trying to use the UI, so he was able to deflect the blows of various GoDs, but none of the GoDs attacked at the same time (basically one attacked, and then the other attacked), and yet Beerus failed to deflect all. He has never faced several GoDs at once, diverting and hitting punches. And when he was imprisoned by Belmod, Liquir was the only one who escaped (thereby releasing all other GoDs). At the end of the fight, Belmod was not injured and was smiling
I do not know why you're using Vegeta in this comparison. CSSB Vegeta never faced Jiren, only Goku (and if you consider that Goku = Vegeta, then the Kamehameha of a CSSB Goku did not even scratch Jiren).
Vegeta used a kind of Evolved CSSB, and according to Jiren, he was above all he had faced before (even that "CSSB Kaioken" that Goku used in ToP), except for Goku's UI, that is, Vegeta was far above its version that was defeated by Beerus before the ToP. And even so, Jiren when increased his power easily defeated him, so I do not see why this proves anything in the comparison between Beerus and Jiren
