Sidious would tear his Soresu apart at the seams, and god help Obi-Wan if he tries an Ataru rush.
I think Maul's saving grace was just how ridiculously aggressive he is. He got overpowered that route, but it's better than turtling up against someone who knows every lightsaber form inside and out ambidextrously, with a huge speed and strength edge on top of that. He's basically a sitting duck at that point.

Interesting. Do you think Obi Wan and Yoda could have defeated Sidious together in ROTS?

Nope.

The only reason Maul lasted even a second was because Sidious got some enjoyment out of watching his former apprentices pathetic and ultimately futile striving.
Maul defeated Sidious due to how aggressive he was fighting; he was driving him back at points and landed a kick. In the end he was overpowering him physically until Sidious decided to end it.
Seeing how easily Dooku was breaking through Kenobi's defense during TCW, I see no reason why he would last half the time Maul did. A RotS Kenobi maybe, but Maul was visibly super pissed after Savage's death which aided him. Not to mention he was implementing Jar Kai, an advantage Kenobi wouldn't have.
