I mean, are we taking Anakin and Obi-Wan as some unstoppable duo, or a duo in which Obi-Wan's presence is completely irrelevant when taking on one opponent?
The lore suggests they're an unstoppable duo. The ROTS fight suggests that either the opponent is weak enough for Anakin to solo and thus Obi-Wan isn't needed, or the opponent is strong enough to dismiss Kenobi with the Force again making his contribution have no impact on the outcome of the fight. Dooku happened to fit in both of those categories.
I mean I hate to lowball everyone's favorite dream team, and believe me I have no love of Krayt, but if the ROTS 2v1 is to be taken as a serious representation of this duo, then Obi-Wan's presence is worthless and I don't see Anakin soloing Krayt.

I mean your assumption there is that anyone whose Dooku's superior in the Force would TK Obi-Wan just the same.
Dooku also handled Kenobi via physical attacks in S6. Same trio fighting.
I'm putting it down to Dooku just knowing how best to handle Kenobi. As I honestly don't see a big power gap between Obi-Wan and Dooku. Dooku's better sure, but not to the extent where Kenobi's presence should be insignificant.

Anakin was not at his best when Kenobi won, so that one's out. What are you referring to by mentioning Savage, tho?
It's not just completely out. Dooku struggled against Anakin throughout the clone wars. I doubt Mustafar Anakin was below say S4 Anakin. Especially when we have the official website confirming his powers grew as he embraced the dark side. Plus his skill level would have been the same as well.
He also physically handled Anakin in S4 as Rako Hardeen.
Kenobi shit stomping Savage while fighting off Maul. Compare that to Savage flooring Dooku while tackling him with Ventress.
