I'm going to go ahead and say no, since the quote I've provided stating that Palpatine's force storm threatened to consume all of space (which is a display of raw power unmatched by any in SW history) was ignored on account of it "being stupid." So I'm dismissing Vitiate's ritual for the same reason.
Regardless, even if Vitiate did become one with the galaxy, the son and daughter were suggested by the father as having the power to rip apart the very fabric of the universe. Some might refer to the father's claim as being exaggerated; however, if we consider Palpatine's ability to rip apart the fabric of space, and the fact that Palpatine is not comparable to the ones of mortis in force power, then I wouldn't put it past the son and daughter of being capable of the same demonstration of power except on a far larger scale. Vitiate can become one with the galaxy and still be annihilated by the son if the son is unleashed on the galaxy.
Furthermore, if Vitiate was such a threat, why didn't the force itself seem to regard him as such? Even in the EU Palpatine is still depicted as being the greatest threat to the force and having the most intimate bond with the dark side than any before or after him, which is why his death was a prophesied event at the hands of a messiah-like figure who was created by the force itself for that very purpose. Even God-like beings directly interfered to direct certain jedi such as Yoda towards a path in defeating Sidious. Not to mention Palpatine's very death had a bigger affect on the force than any other dark sider's.
