Legends is still a canon source. Sources do not get outdated unless directly contradicted. Vitiate existed way before Sidious, so his feats cannot contradict any statements in reference to Sidious. Whatever TOR era introduces, it does not invalidate PT and other later eras in any way whatsoever.
Star Wars mythos have two continuities: Legends and Canon. Both are official but Canon continuity is different from Legends continuity. As an example, Darth Sidious (DE) is now a Legends continuity incarnation.
Also, source-books are revised with passage of time. For example:-
Star Wars: The Ultimate Visual Guide was released on September 19, 2005. However, an Updated and Expanded edition was released on April 30, 2012. Reason is that the earlier edition became outdated in matters of content and also contained a few errors that were corrected in the newer edition.
As the new content emerged, it retconned some aspects of Sidious's hype in both Legends and Canon continuities by introducing and promoting newer super-strong characters such as Son and Abeloth.
Sidious is not promoted as the most powerful Sith in newer sources just like Master Yoda. These promotional shifts have reasons. Even Anakin Skywalker's potential hype have been revised in the Canon continuity.
Discovered as a slave on Tatooine by Qui-Gon Jinn and Obi-Wan Kenobi, Anakin Skywalker had the potential to become one of the most powerful Jedi ever, and was believed by some to be the prophesied Chosen One who would bring balance to the Force.
Taken from Star Wars: Databank
Emperor Vitiate is demonstratively superior master of the dark side then Darth Sidious along-with official promotions such as almost godlike being and most powerful Force-user ever in relatively newer sources that acknowledge the existence of Celestials and also have introduced some new super-strong entities such as Soa, Terror from Beyond, and World Razer.

I honestly can't believe there is someone more bias towards a character than Ant is to Revan.Have you heard of Revan worship? Its a real thing
Fans of PT/OT/Legacy eras continue to assert that Sidious is superior to beings who have superior showings then him, based on Sidious's promotions in outdated sources. This is nonsense.
Star Wars have evolved, but your understanding of its ground realities have not.
The idea of Sidious blitzing Vitiate is stupid imo but DE Sidious is more than strong enough to defend against Vitiate's force attacks and kill him in a duel(assuming that Vitiate has a host body).
However, this is a force only thread. I'd like to focus on discussing which incarnation of Sidious is powerful enough to defeat Vitiate with his force powers.

And LOL your obviously new to star wars yourself and chose to wank the first character you came across. I have read dozens of books comics and played many video games. You, however, have played a single video game. GG

However, Sidious (DE) does have a chance at defeating any being as well, by virtue of his greatest powers.

Legends. Christ this annoying. Dude TOR was made DURING legends Canon was still canon. TOR is a Legends work for all intents and purposes. It's not new canon or any other bs UNTIL a higher up confirms it.
God twisting Canon like this to fit a character agenda is just... ugh.
DE Sheev has a greater chance. That's just me.
