Besting Desann (why amped significantly no less), before fighting through an entire army of highly skilled Dark Troopers/Reborn? The best of Reborn, being very proficient in the Strong, fast, and medium style of combat? With Dark Troopers being even greater than, the Reborn, while also sporting cortosis armor and cloaking capabilities?
How about fighting through a host of Sith abomination, on a planet who's DS nexus was powerful enough to turn him to the darkside, before he gained a substantial amount of power? What about besting Jerec 6 Dark Jedi with minimal training, which, each being more powerful than the other?
From a technical standpoint, Kyle is a master of, like, 7 different forms/styles of lightsaber - and incorporated every them all to create his own unique form.
Malgus 45 years from his prime defeated the Jedi Battlemaster and was one of the greatest warriors in the Empire. The Jedi and Sith of the TOR era are laughably beyond the puny Reborn and Dark Troopers Katarn fought, with access to more true knowledge and techniques than they could ever dream of.
As of Decieved Malgus was likely the greatest warrior in the galaxy apart from Scourge and had taken down the premier Jedi duelists of his day. Before he recieved the immense boost in power he got at the end of the book.

I'm finding a hard time accepting defeating Darach is superior to Katarn defeating Sarris while simultaneously engaging in a telepathic battle, also, before he gained a substantial amount of power, and technical skill obviously.

Arbitrarily statement based on what exactly? I seriously doubt if there is any jarring difference between the average Jedi/Sith of TOR time, and a average Reborn. Reborn, after all, were stated to be a match for Jedi of the NJO, while Shadow Troopers where the Reborn's better, skilled in Force Lightning, equipped with lightsaber deflecting/shortening cortisis armor.

>Implying a peak Katarn wouldn't be in the same exact position had he been in Malgus' spot?

True enough.

Well not shit, but can be beaten by someone proficient in only a few forms.
Yes, Dooku is better than Sora Bulq despite only having mastered one style instead of seven. That doesn't mean that mastering all seven styles is a meaningless accomplishment, or that it doesn't speak for one's level of skill.
