Depends on how you think Adult Naruto & Sasuke stack up against their pre-Hagoromo ex Machina counterparts.
That said, Momoshiki (after he's absorbed Kinshiki) seems to be more powerful and versatile than Juubito, but the latter has the Truth Seeking Balls and Momoshiki does not show Senjutsu. Not very smart either.
I wonder if Momoshiki could absorb TSB's...
I'm still not perfectly clear on Momoshiki's powers, tbh. So we know he can absorb any chakra nature and can temporarily utilize that nature. We know that after absorbing Kinshiki, he can create powerful weapons (and seemingly creatures?) on the fly and possesses standard Rinnegan. The shaky part is where he starts eating those pills and summons the big dark orb, I still don't quite get what's happening there lol.
No one who could absorb chakra made it a point to try it, so who knows.
The weapons thing was one of Kinshiki's abilities. Those huge creatures seem to be Momoshiki's though.
Those pills are akin chakra fruits iirc.
Also, Momoshiki & Kinshiki are supposedly the threat greater than Kaguya that Sasuke was talking about. So based on that, he stomps Juubito. vin

Momoshiki's absorption is very different from Preta or Dark Style abilities though. As far as I can tell, Momoshiki can't use Ninjutsu by himself. He either summons and eats his pills to summon that massive energy ball, (Not sure how it even works/functions) or absorbs Ninjutsu and temporarily gains their nature to use as he pleases.
He's absorbed Biju Bombs and Shadow Possession though.

Yep, he creates them with the symbol on his back.

How does he even create them? Some odd form of telekinesis?

And yet they were supposedly also servants if Kaguya before she ate the fruit.
I hear these guys have been going from dimension to dimension seeking chakra fruits; I wonder why they aren't Kaguya-tier tbh.
So breaking this down...
Kinshiki has a powerful strength-enhancing Jutsu that makes matching him blow-for-blow a no-go even for Sasuke. Despite his strength and size, he's still agile enough to keep up with Sasuke and can create all sorts of powerful energy weapons to fit the situation. He also has the Byakugan.
Momoshiki is also very physically powerful, and very skilled. He can absorb any chakra and temporarily gain their natures to use against his opponents. He possesses a Byakugan as well. He also can summon chakra pills that grant him immense power and the ability to summon a massive ball of energy with mechanics I don't understand.
If Momoshiki absorbs Kinshiki, he gains all of the above powers as well as the ability to change the environment into massive creatures to fight for him, and possibly gains the ability to use standard Rinnegan techs as well. Both if these guys got taken down pretty cleanly by Kura-Susano'o, and while Momo fought a stronger version of the duo, he definitely fared worse.
Could go either way, I think.
So it looks like Momoshiki's ability is to absorb Ninjutsu, amplify it, and release it. He can't use offensive Jutsu without techniques to absorb, unless he has some stored up or in his summonable pills. The only exception seems to be his ability to alter the environment, which may or may not only apply to his homeworld.
It's important to notice that the Gokage were dominating Momo/Kin until they fused, albeit with help from Naruto/Sasuke. Then when they fused, Naruto/Sasuke were still able to handle them. Especially considering that Naruto and Sasuke don't have Hagoromo's powers anymore, the idea that these goons are more powerful than Kaguya is just lol.
