Therefore, to avoid being fatigued, an Adept would be advised to use powers at a rank lower than the Adept's own level? Is that fair?

Unless I'm totally mistaken, rank never changes - apart from when your level changes. It's a property of the character, not the power itself. It would certainly be possible to rule that for your game an Adept can "hold back".

Now some of the powers have different specific uses mentioned which may have different target numbers to use. But that just means a user with a higher (Adept) level has a better chance of performing them reliably.
