Bane is pretty powerful proficient in force lightning, TK, beast control, etc. He overcame the avatar of Darth Addendu’s holocron avatar by pure mental force. I’d dare say he’s a better swordsman then Dooku
I mean, that's assuming Dooku didn't compensate for Makashi's weakness(he did), didn't have knowledge of how other forms work(he did), isn't absurdly strong(he is), and Bane is as skilled/strong/fast as Anakin(he isn't).
I mean, Obi has a feat of deflecting omnidirectional blaster fire, and Dooku is at least on par with him in speed.

That argument is as old as time itself. Dooku has never had trouble with aggressive form duelists. He's successfully dealt with both Sora Bulq and Quinlan Vos (legends incarnations) who were Vaapad and Djem So practitioners, respectively.
Dooku lost to Anakin because he was a higher caliber duelist--tier 9. Nick Gillard has stated that differences in light-saber style, physicals, small details, etc only really have an effect on the outcome of a duel when two duelists are on the same tier.
You would need to make the claim that Bane is on Dooku's tier as a duelist; which ultimately comes down to holistic strength in the force.
We know that Bane struggled to defeat Kas'im after the latter switched to using jar kai—a fighting style Bane hadn't experienced before. He was only able to challenge Kas'im prior to that because the pair had sparred so many times before, hence a familiarity advantage.
Bane had to collapse the temple on Kas'im to defeat him as he knew he would lose eventually in sabers. Kas'im was described as being one of the finest lightsaber practitioners of his time; an accolade that could just as well be attributed to Dooku.
Unlike Kas'im, however, Bane would not have the advantage of being familiar with Dooku's fighting style.

The sheer vastness of the Banite gap. Dooku is capable of giving a semi-decent fight to Yoda which I really can't see people astronomically inferior or tremendously inferior to the likes of Tenebrous and Plagueis doing.

He probably thinks TPM Kenobi is close to Bane
