Unless we can find an example of 概 on its own meaning "generally", I don't think we need that sense. I assume it's always 概して.
Sense 2 must be obscure if nikk is the only ref that has it.

Sense 3 needs POS/gloss alignment.
That sense comes from Nikkoku. I wonder if it isn't really referring to 概して.

My Japanese-Chinese dictionary defines 概 as 気概 and gives two examples: 意気衝天の概がある and 敵を呑むの概あり.
