Not really, there's always non-metahuman criminals looking to score regardless of the city. The 90s Flash series was almost completely dealing with non-metahumans that Barry had trouble with too.

This isn't the 90s Flash show. Most of the villains of the week Oliver goes up against are a breeze for Barry, shown when he helped out in "Brave and the Bold" and kept clearing whole rooms of thugs before Oliver even walked through the door.

The only non-metas to give Barry trouble are the Rogues and Trickster, with the former having hightech weapons, while the latter was a criminal genius who kept finding ways to disable Flash. The 90's Flash wasn't weak bro. His Central City was just full of criminal geniuses who kept finding ways to disable him, like Trickster
