Going from a narrative perspective Overlord is unlikly to have any characters appear that are a direct threat to Nazarick through sheer power. Also, Momonga's character development seems to suggest that being deeply invested in the game to the point of being willing to give up his real life was an element of his coming to the New World. This makes it less likely that other players in the NW would have hit level cap, because player investment naturally drops after hitting level cap.

Suzuki's reason for remaining deeply invested in Yggdrasil despite it being more like a second job than a game was almost certainly atypical (besides AOG being an atypically powerful guild such that it could avoid falling below 30th place even with only one active member remaining). It is most likely that "powergamer" builds which Ainz most fears would have moved on to other games or IRL pursuits well before the end of Yggdrasil (much like everyone from AOG but Monmonga).

The big threats to Ainz come from within Nazarick itself, chiefly Albedo and Demiurge (Albedo has moved to first place as a result of her apparent willingness to literally kill Ainz in order to get more time alone with him--though Demiurge's conditions were not confirmed). The main hazard they present is moral, rather than physical. That said, it's not impossible for Ainz to end up in a game-over state by giving in to either one.

Pretty much all the NPC's present some degree of similar danger, though usually far less (there is a certain correlation in terms of level and negative Karma rating, though far from absolute, I rank Pandora's Actor as being less dangerous than even Yuri Alpha, for instance, with Entoma being a greater hazard than Solution, for another--Shalltear is a prime example of presenting very little hazard despite her stats and her status as a showdown adversary in the Bloody Valkyrie arc).
