Except Revan resisted Vitiate's TP, lol. Vitiate couldn't even break the Act II strike team without incapacitating them first, and this team is better in every way.
Given enough time, could Vitiate subjugate the mind of Kit Fisto or even Qui-Gon? Quite possibly. But he isn't going to be afforded the luxury of uninterrupted channeling time. He'll be attacked constantly.

THE MOTTO IS "IN KEK WE TRUST"
Revan wasn't able to resist during his first encounter. There is no reason to doubt his willpower at that time as well but Vitiate's telepathic abilities took him by surprise. Revan learned from his experience and developed countermeasures in response.
Unfortunately for you, no Jedi in the proposed Strike Team has the exposure, experience and capabilities of Revan (Reborn) under his belt.
1. I see that as a matter of choice. Vitiate wasn't taking his chances with 4 powerful Jedi in front of him and decided to hit them first. It is also possible that Vitiate subjected them to telepathic pressures during the fight. One statement gives this impression.
2. The proposed team isn't better than the other in (every) way. It comprises of a powerhouse, two above-average Jedi and one droid. The droid is a non-factor, the above-average Jedi are fodder, and we are left with Mace Windu who won't last long in the end.
The Strike Team that confronted Vitiate during the events of SWTOR, comprised of two powerhouses and two above-average Jedi. On the whole, it was a quality team.
Telepathic powers materialize instantly and Vitiate can break even a well-trained Force-user in a split-second moment. All Vitiate needs is some distance to channel his telepathic abilities.
Do also keep in mind that Vitiate can multi-task with his powers. He can exert pressure on the minds of the Jedi while (simultaneously) subjecting them to additional powers and such pressures will be sufficient to disorient the Jedi and they will eventually falter.

Revan had practically already fallen during their first encounter.
We have Mace, who's more skilled and powerful, and Qui-Gon, who rivals Revan as a swordsman.
More importantly, even on the nexus, Meetra, Scourge and Revan were capable of beating Vitiate as much as he was capable of beating them. Mace > Revan, Qui-Gon >> Meetra and Kit Fisto >>> novel Scourge, plus R2's here for the lols. This is a better team than one that could more or less get an even split with Vitiate on a nexus. In other words, even on a nexus, this team would beat Vitiate for at least a solid majority, and they'd take every round on neutral ground.
This team is much better. Mace shits on anyone in that team, and could probably take Braga/Sedoru//Narezz alone. Qui-Gon and Kit Fisto are also above any of those three or Act II HoT.
Not to mention that that was a Vitiate who had spend three hundred years studying the dark side since the novel (which is the incarnation in this thread).
The novel established that, even on a nexus, Vitiate had to gather energies and channel his powers. It required time and focus such that he was completely susceptible to attack from Revan. The same would occur here. Trying to subjugate an opponent's mind would leave Vitiate vulnerable to attack from one of the others.
Meetra's Saber Throw also could've killed the Emperor. Novel Vitiate's awareness as a combatant is rather lackluster.
