Eh, to be honest the answer is really "yes and no". Rimuru has evolved to an existance where its almost impossible to evaluate how much effect his growing strength is changing things. The end of the WN pretty much established him as an "ultimate existance" on Veldanava's level, except he isn't restricted like Veldanava was.

Ultimate Slime is basically one of those "pinnacle existances" much like the True Dragons. What's more, it has "Universal Body Transformation" instrinc skill, which basically means he can mimic anything in existance, Demon Gods, True Dragons, and Demi-Gods. Heck, since he devoured Veldanava Sword, he probably can mimic Veldanava. He's essentially not just a slime, he's "everything".

The point is that this universe is composed of Nihility Energy, the power of nothingness, and Stardust Energy, the power of everythingness. Veldanava was an impossibly unrankable existance while he freely controlled both, but only he can harness and store so much.

Rimuru doesn't have these limitations, he can infinitely store as much energy as he wants in pocket dimensions and imaginary rooms. Meaning he can continue to absorb more and more energy as time passes. This is why Ciel points out his ever evolving self, Rimuru literally gets stronger as time passes, with no effort on his part. He's like a vacuum, filling with more and more power every minute by every hour.

So honestly, although he get stronger daily, he's just a bucket being dumped into what is basically an ocean of power. So the actual "improvement" is marginal. Like if a person with a million dollars got one more dollar, sure, he's got more money, but its actual effect on his truth wealth is next to nothing.

The real bread and butter is his Origin and Ultimate Skills, Akashic Records feeding information to Ahura Mazda to fashion any Intrinsic Skill, Unique Skill, Battle Skill, or Daily Skill Rimuru could desire. Skills being stored in Shub-Niggurath and given to his subordinates, who in turn develop new skills from them that in turn feed back to Rimuru via Food Chain. Ciel fashions these skills to suit Rimuru's style, fusing or casting off skills as he needs. That's the real danger, like when he became a Maou, new power cause his subordinates to evolve which in turn gives him new power.
