This hasn't peaked at all. More to come. This has all the ingredients to get to Cat.5. Recon should also be in around its peak just incase Dvorak pulls a choke job.
Do you also have the the shear forecast according to the Euro? Since the NHC discussion mentions that GFS and the euro still differ quite a bit in terms of their shear forecast during the next 48 hours (where euro shows more shear).
Very similar shear from what I can see. Could argue the Euro has less shear over the next 48 hours compared to the GFS. The Euro is more bullish on this compared to the GFS.

Sorta. Notice how on the ECMWF TUTT is stronger, which is likely to induce southwesterly shear and based on the streamlines that surround the storm, the ULAC is likely of similar intensity, maybe the ECMWF has a stronger ULAC. Nevertheless, the storm may be strong enough to fight off the TUTT.
