Yeah, Vitiate lay in the Dark Citadel, hence why Revan was shivering. 😬
I don't recall Meetra shivering from the miasma surrounding Kaas, (though she did have some sort of negative reaction to it).
Not being able to enter a calm, peaceful state of meditation on a dark side nexus =/= how horribly Kaas affected Yoda and Luke. Unless of course, Meetra is more powerful/a greater paragon of light than Yoda and Luke are.
Speaking of Malachor...it affected Meetra much more negatively than Kaas seemingly did. 🙂
Simply dismissing authorial intent or pretending it doesn't exist to bump up your favorite female heroine is ludicrous. I don't doubt Kaas is a powerful nexus, but it's not the crutch you make it out to be. It wouldn't have changed the outcome of Revan vs Vitiate, or Meetra vs Nyriss. And you seem to care more about wanking Valkorion than I do, these days. 👆

In that fight he made a single negligible contribution.Is that why, three centuries later-which Charles Boyd, Creative Director, has stated gradually reduces the effects of the Void-was consuming every living thing when the Sanitarium was broken by Vaylin's unstable power. Meaning Meetra Surik had to survive in a far worse state off of sheer willpower or be consumed as well.
Just because Meetra says she'll 'be okay' doesn't mean it didn't effect her. 😂
The Void of Nathema was a far worse effect than anything Malachor V ever put her through and that had a serious long term damage on both her psyche and connection to the Force.
Malachor V being far more powerful than Dromund Kaas is stated nowhere, given Vitiate's rituals and the sheer number of sites strong in the Dark Side. Not only that, but Dromund Kaas, almost four millennia of weakening later-was corrupting Kyle Katarn to the Dark Side of the Force, blinded Mara Jade's Connection to the Force, did the same to Ben Skywalker, caused Jaina Solo's reflexes to drop sharply and did the same to Prime Luke f*cking Skywalker.
Imagine what a fully active Dromund Kaas would do to Revan and the Exile.
Your argument is just an attempt to claim Surik ~ Scourge, which is just laughable.
Nathema's environment was certainly punishing. Lana Beniko felt similar effects that Meetra Surik felt there centuries ago. Valkorion shielded her and the Outlander from the worse of effects.
However, Surik had time to recover.

She forced them to dive out of the way of her Force Lightning and Force Leap'd inbetween them to catch them both off-guard. The only one who admits inferiority is Scourge, because the duel is from his perspective.Meetra caught and absorbed the worst of Darth Nyriss' lightning with an instinctive Force Barrier. Force Barrier is stated to not be an effective means of defending against Force Lightning and even the most powerful Jedi Masters struggle to absorb Force Lightning with Tutaminis, the technique actually designed for absorbing such attacks. For a hindered Meetra to do the same with an unprepared, instinctive barrier against Lightning of that power, is an exceptional feat.
I feel like this gets overlooked all the time.

A deflected Force push that barely moved her.
Beniko and the others had the Sanitarium to help as well.
Surik had a few days of not eating or sleeping before departing for a very powerful nexus in Dromund Kaas. Recovery from the worst experience in her life, even moreso than the massive psychological damage Malachor V had imparted, isn't stated by anybody but Surik who wanted T3 to get to work on encrypted Nathema files.
