Emperor Vitiate had developed the necessary talents to overcome powerful adversaries, even whole Strike Teams, in a confrontation with use of sorcery and overwhelming powers. He is the ultimate sorcerer, remember? In comparison, Sidious evolved as a more conventional combatant, a masterful warrior.
If Sidious attempts to subjugate this Strike team using 'conventional' tactics, he is doomed. If Sidious targets the Strike team from a distance and is afforded enough time to summon a Force Storm, then he is likely to succeed.
In the nutshell, outcome is dependent upon circumstances, but I would be hesitant to assert that Sidious can stomp or even defeat a Strike Team comprising of Revan, Exar Kun, and Malgus using 'conventional' tactics, irrespective of his raw power.

I recall Exar Kun stomping Luke though.
These matters aren't so black and white. See my response to member The_Tempest above.
Did he try to stomp Luke?
Perhaps we use the word "stomp" differently. Vitiate tried to toy with Revan but he failed to do so. However, he was still able to take him out with the force the moment he used a more potent attack. He could've just sent his charged FL in the beginning of the fight and take out Revan with a single attack. I wouldn't call that a decent fight tbh.
Sidious can replicate what Vitiate did to Revan with the force and unlike Vitiate, he could also easily defeat him in a duel. Only a selected few characters in the mythos could avoid getting stomped by DE Sidious.
