Luke during the JA Trilogy against a living Kun from the Sith War. Who wins?

Leia in JA thinks summoning a weather storm.is impossible for a Jedi master lol.

The simplest in-universe rationalization is that Luke is holding back after getting scared from his brush with the dark side in DE. This is actually something one would expect - Luke holds back constantly even when he's far removed from his stint with Palpatine, so immediately afterwards you'd be surprised if he didn't exhibit an even clearer backlash.
Notes:
1. The statement about Luke growing more powerful doesn't contradict the above.
2. The statement about Luke noting that he should not abuse his powers after JA doesn't preclude him from holding back before.
3. Luke doesn't really lose to Kun in a fair fight anyway but that's something I'll save for the Revan/Vader debate.

I believe two do(at least spirit Kun anyways) and also there's their clash as spirits, on a DS nexus, where Luke overpowered Exar pretty quickly. I'd take that as an indicator that Luke is superior.
A weakened Kun crippled Luke and his students. I don't know how would Luke fare against flesh and blood Exar Kun. Once, he thought that if Tavion resurrects Ragnos would be terribly bad. On top of that, even Luke holds the ancient Sith in high regards. He knows these guys are dangerous.
