Ionat is annoying for the wife and I since we're in middle-tier gear with unremarkable resists. Someone with NTOV type resists on gear would probably shrug it off. Since the challenge can't account for gear, probably best to leave it where it's at. That's why the tiers have multiple monsters after all, gives players some ability to customize it to their own specific needs.
Uiliak is IIRC basically the exact same as the other "standard +4's." Most of them are cut-and-pastes of each other 'cept for model and resist type on AE (fire or cold). The Phara Dar lookalikes (Bufa and I think Nintal) hit for 300's instead of the usual low 200's for the +4's, but they don't hit max all that much and aren't really a special problem--same general tier just slightly harder within the tier. Roaming Vox lookalikes (Von, Cargalia, any of the Saparas) are hard due to nasty AE but you accounted for that.
Ayillish is hard to classify: Either harder than any of the basic plus 4's or weaker than anything else in its tier. It *barely* out damages the nest +4's (hence why it's such a popular target--easiest +6) and the main difference is a longer fight. It's even a trivial pull. I suppose this is why each tier requires miltiple distinct kills. Entariz is equivalent to Ayillish except with a 400 AE instead of 250. Players with high resist gear would find them equivalent and Entariz is the second-most-solo'd of the +6's. Entariz and Ionat can be tricky to pull due to close proximity to each other and Sontalak but once pulled normal rules apply.
I don't recall ever having pulled Travala...if I have I don't remember it. It's a quest mob and not much reason to pull it normally. It's red to 60 and mostly it's an annoying roamer you have to watch out for. Red to 60 makes me wonder if it belongs in the same tier as a relative weakling like Ayillish, but OTOH maybe Trav's weak for its level too. I have to defer to others' judgement on that one.
It's been a long time since I pulled Glati--more fuss than he's worth so he's usually ignored--but my recollection is the fight was hardly different than the normal plus 4's ignoring the gate (ie, fight it at spawn). Mainly it just dispells a lot and heals a bit. I don't recall the breath AE being an issue. It's harder than the nest +4's but weaker than stuff like Entariz or Ionat. If it were me I'd leave that one in the weaker tier just understanding it as a "tough" mob for the weaker tier.
