I’d say the most common wording for this expression would be “nothing short of + [an extreme sort of adjective or noun]”. Your sentence is a little unusual in that it uses the pronoun ‘it’ rather than an adjective. However, the word ‘it’ does refer back to the idea of ‘boring’.
Here are some examples, Tom:
His unwillingness to accept that this usage is widespread in the US is nothing short of obstinate.
Frankly, his reaction was nothing short of bizarre.
The fact that she survived was nothing short of a miracle.
