Nope.In terms of pure power alone Exar Kun can contend with Palpatine (not beat him but contend certainly). Kun killed Odan-Urr (the Yoda of his era) with Force Wound (basically using the Force to give him a heart attack). Palpatine couldn't do that to Yoda.
Then there's Kun's mastery of Sith Sorcery. That's a huge edge right there. Yes Palpatine knows about Sith Sorcery and can use it himself but it's not his forte. He would have difficulty combating a master of Kun's level.
Krayt is also powerful enough to contend with Palpatine, seeing as he and Luke were able to defeat Abeloth, not to mention he willed himself back to life, again something Palpatine has never done. Plus he too has powers Palpatine can't really answer, especially Dark Healing. If he gets to lay so much as a hand on Palpatine (no easy feat granted) it's over.
So yeah, against both of them at once Palpatine loses soundly.
This is DE Palpatine. Sidious arguably if not definitely s above Kun as of ROTS, he has made a huge power jump from ROTS to DE. Kun is outmatched and outgunned by Sidious. To compare Yoda to Odan Urr is obsurd. By the time Kun did that wasn't Odan extremely old, and out of his prime? His powers were extremely weak compared to what would be his prime so to say he is the Yoda of the era, you must mean in knowledge and wisdom, not actual skill in power.
Yes he has a very decisive edge, due to that being his prime power. However Sidious has very strong will, and that would allow him to resist, and then combine that with his own knowledge of sith Sorcerry I see being able to hold off Kun's Magic.
Sidious is able to retain his identity and escape the void through sheer force of will:
Palpatine's body was destroyed. Separated from his clones, Palpatine was forced to survive in the maddening, bodiless existence of the void. Through sheer will he retained his identity, crossing the gulf of space to again take up residence in his clone body.

Sidious has willed himself back to life. Also when he died it took every last dead Jedi too bring his spirit to the netherworld. Palpatine has much stronger TK and FL then Krayt, so he will be able to handle himself well agaisnt Krayt. Also what is Krayt going to do against Force Storm? Krayt has to touch Sidious, whcih I don't see happening. I don't say it's impossible just extremely unlikely, while Force Storm is something he can pull out at virtually anytime, it just takes an insane amount of power to control.
Now I don't contradict you, I do understand your position, and I don't detest it. I'm not debating on your decision cause I understand, what I am debating is your reasoning, becuase what you use I believe is already shown to be either false, or you may be mislead on your thoughts.
