Apparently being able to even touch Vader and Maul, is some kind of glass ceiling feat that nobody of other eras can possibly match.
Certainly outside Sylvar's capabilities. But go ahead, attempt another pathetic strawman.

Primitive being a good word given that they are just mindless bugs. Also the fact that the Kiltiks are native to Cathar, whereas the Killiks are native to Alderaan makes it hard for me to believe that the Kiltiks are just distant, inbred cousins. You have any proof of that? Given how they look and how they operate, they just seem to be different species of insectoids.
Well Sylvar being capable of actually dueling either in the way Tano did is hardly outside of her expertise given her performance against Kun on Dantooine, who regularly defeated Vodo.
They think as a hivemind, and that hivemind of hundreds was saying 'kill the crazy cat woman'. The proof being that sourcebooks have grouped them in the same species categories before.

Were they the Digital Deluxe Gloss editions grouping those separate species together?

Her performance against Kun is all well and good, but it isn't rivalling Tano's performance against Vader or Maul. Not only is this pre-prime Kun, but she got stomped by him and only landed a single hit by clawing his face. And while Kun did regularly beat his master, Baas also defeated him quite a few times:
Whilst Vodo had fought and defeated Kun many times in the past, this time he would not be so lucky

Kun mocked the ancient Master, and did battle with him again.Vodo has previously defeated Kun using only his mysterious cane. This time, the apprentice was ready, revealing the modifications to his lightsaber that gave it a double blade -- the first of it's kind.

Then you must consider that Vodo, when serious, beat this same pre-prime Kun in a couple of blade swings until Exar resorted to Jar'Kai and got enraged:
Instead, Kun battled his Master, who was armed with his walking cane. Kun was almost defeated when he snatched up a fallen lightsabre and, giving into his anger, broke his Master's cane.

So Sylvar can scartch Vodo Siosk Baas and then get casually defeated in a duel. I guess that's good. 🙄

Alright, so they both use hiveminds... much like any insectoid colonies. Still, that doesn't prove they're distant relatives and even if they were it's clear the Killiks are much more advanced as both fighters and a colony. They're threats to trained Jedi, yet Kiltiks are just used as prey for a Cathar hunting ritual:
The rest of Cathar was naturally covered in flat, grassy plains, with just a few rolling hills here and there, but a voracious insectoid species, the Kiltik, has reduced much of its northern section to desert. These insects live in large nests underground and come out at night to gather food and bring it back to the nest to feed their queen. Omnivorous, they do not discriminate between vegetation and other animals, but take all. This makes them a deadly threat to the natives, and is the main cause for the Blood Hunts that are used by the Cathar to gain honour and also to rid themselves of the inner darkness that they all believe they have within themselves. Cathar warriors go alone into a Kiltik nest and attempt to wipe it out, battling through hundreds of guard drones before reaching and killing the queen.

So, in other words, Sylvar did to the possibly primitive cousins of the Killiks what Cathar fodder has been doing for decades, if not centuries. Pardon me for not thinking this is as good as keeping up with Maul and Vader.

I would like a quote, please.
