Abeloth was powerful enough to beat down the Son and Daughter at the same time. And either of them alone are more powerful than Vitiate.

Vitiate has never done anything close to the destructive level of the devastation of Tahv without prep or a ritual, and is not a dozen times stronger in the force than FOTJ Luke.

As far as recklessness goes, let's not forget that Vitiate is the guy who walked into a lightsaber blade, and turned his attention away from one of the people trying to kill him, leaving himself exposed to a killing blow while taking his sweet ass time walking over to Revan.
Emperor Vitiate isn't reckless in his battles, he wouldn't have accomplished so much and lasted so long by being reckless; he is a brilliant tactician. However, shit can happen in battles and even the greatest of tacticians can falter in their judgments.
Also, Meetra was too far from Emperor Vitiate for him to pay attention when she flung her lightsaber towards him in her effort to save Revan. You cannot blame Emperor Vitiate for finding himself in a catch-22 situation in this matter. Anybody could have found himself in catch-22 situation in his position.

As far as tanking though, Abeloth has tanked a lightsaber blade through the chest with no effect to her, while Vitiate fell to the floor clutching his side when the Hero slashed him.
