The fact that the entire crew of the Intrepid was Vulcan also implies that at least some Vulcans had to have been in Starfleet long enough to make Captain and Commander ranks- in other words, almost certainly longer than Spock.

Well here is something that might explain away the line. Maybe Spock was the first Vulcan to attend STARFLEET ACADEMY and work his way up through there? Maybe all the others came via the Vulcan Science Academy/Vulcan Security/Vulcan fleet or whatever. It would gel with Sarek's disapproval of Spock going to Starfleet Academy. It would also alow T'Pol etc. Or any Vulcans in between as they would be part of Starfleet via a merging or crossing over of their home-planet's own Fleet/forces/services.
