Nothing suggests that Sith Emperor was afraid of Triumvirate, majority feared him instead. In-fact, Traya was most likely afraid and intimidated by ancients; she assumed that her talents paled in comparison to those of the ancients and it would be best course of action to destroy the Force itself.
Sith Emperor possessed the power to destroy any external threat either through his own power and/or with his personal powerbase and/or with the enormous military might under his disposal. Sith Emperor had too many options.

Probably. I can picture the Emperor hide in his throne room in the fear of Nihilus eating Droumand Kaas.
Also, Sith Emperor most likely have an answer for even the most potent power of Nihilus as apparent from his feat in Nathema. Sith Emperor would have hit back in every manner possible if Nihilus had threatened his Empire.

Nihilus gigadrains him. lol jk. However that would be an awesome fight...that I see Nihilus winning.Lol imagine the sheer horror among Vitiate's stripped empire if he get's casually stripped from the force by Nihilus. I would lol.
2. Sith Emperor orchestrated the most deadly ritual of dark side power known in history which exterminated all life barring him, he certainly have an answer for Nihilus's giga-drain or whatever due to this development alone.
3. Sith Emperor isn't a human or mortal, he transformed in to an immortal being (an entity like condition) which most likely boosted his defenses to seemingly impossible levels. Sith Emperor have too enormous reservoir of power to overcome with Drain factor alone, I have yet to see a single Force power which works on Sith Emperor.
Underestimating Sith Emperor is the greatest error that fans are known to commit.
Though their is wisdom in a saying of Vader: "There is little that a lightsaber cannot solve." Rock solid....
1. So is Nihilus...just better at the drain part.
2. Ritual=Prep with like 6,000 Sith Lords. Quite frankly, I don't find that impressive at all.
3. Revan's TK worked on Vitiate. (insert lol here) Imagine the TK on one who lifted star ships?
He's literally an attempt to make a less OP Nihilus, but failed and instead made a horrible character. Mortis, Sidious, Luke, Nihilus, Caedus, Plagueis, Yoda, etc would all defeat Vitiate.

Sith Emperor could drain his targets from lightyear distances and simultaneously siphoned energies from many individuals.
I know that Nihilus became a natural with Force Drain talent due to his blackhole like condition but their is no reason to believe that his feat cannot be replicated with adequate preparation from someone like Sith Emperor or him to be exact.

Now tell me if this isn't impressive then what is?

Proper TK attacks from Revan didn't even budge Vitiate from his position but were potent enough to shatter concrete.

Also, I really doubt that the list you mentioned have been tested in ways like Sith Emperor have been and/or would live to tell the tale if walk in his shoes.

The Sith Emperor is more powerful than Nihilus. But whether he'd defeat him is another question.

It wasn't a TK, it was an incredible burst of power released by Revan after achieving almost oneness like condition. While Vitiate took it all on, he stood back up unscathed.
Emperor's powers would do the job. Greater the power, more effective the attacks are.

It's not impressive because he needed 6,000 Sith Lords to destroy a world and harness their power, while Nihilus can do it alone.
Difference between Emperor's and Nihilus's position is that Nihilus performed his feat of planetary-scale devastation from safe distance (Nihilus didn't had to face the music himself) while the Emperor was within the heart of storm of destructive dark side power and still lived to carry on his agenda.
Emperor have much superior understanding of the Force then Nihilus, like this or not. Also, it is hinted in canonical sources that Emperor became more powerful after the event of Nathema, his capacity as practitioner of the Force vastly increased after his transformation (Emperor might pull off Katarr or Nathema by himself during his immortal condition).

It was a telekinetic push that threw Vitiate backwards.

Nihilus was more powerful then any individual stationed on Katarr as an example. It was unlikely for anybody in this world to outright tank his powers or have the command of Sith Sorcery to undermine his powers. Alternative defensive option was being a wound.
Sith Emperor demonstrated the capability to drain Revan in Maelstrom Prison while being stationed on Dromund Kaas, distance between these two places is 12 parsecs.
while Emperor was within the heart of storm of destructive dark side power and still lived to carry on his agenda.
I truly admire Vitiate fans, they work hard to try to make his feats impressive, sadly, it hardly works:
Devastation on Nathema: Aided by 6,000 Sith Lords
Mind dominating Revan/Malak: Had prep + nexus
Destroying Dark Council: Had prep + nexus
...you see the pattern, don't you?
And, when you see Vitiate without prep, he get's beat down by the Hero.

The circumstances in this situation hardly make the feet eligible. Especially due to the fact he has never demonstrated wide spread drain besides this, despite it being in his best interest (situation with Revan when he was dueling Guards; situation in Tython battles, etc etc).
Emperor is an absolute master of Force Drain talents.

So? The entire ritual was designed so Vitiate would be draining everything. It makes perfect sense nothing happened to him. The devastation was merely an absence of the Force and the death of all life, which was drained by Vitiate. It's not as HE was being drained.
From Star Wars: The Old Republic: RevanThe ritual had obviously destroyed Nathema, snuffing out all life on the world. Lord Vitiate had offered his people hope, and instead had brought them a fate worse than death—utter eradication of life, existence, and even the Force.
Meetra was no expert on dark side sorcery, but it was safe to assume Vitiate not only survived the ritual, but emerged more powerful than ever.
And with the destruction of everyone on Nathema—including his research team—he alone would have known the location of Dromund Kaas.
This ritual wasn't friendly to Emperor in any stretch of imagination, it represented an ultimate test for his command of the dark side as well. Emperor would either manage to control the outcome of the ritual or perish just like all others who participated in it.
Think of this matter as of Thought Bomb being unleashed by brotherhood. No one in the brotherhood survived the outcome of the ritual or managed to control its outcome once the lethal dark side power was released from it.
