Riot taking her as a host is not exactly a win. It was clear a compatible host could resist the symbiote to an extent. Plus it would make Drake an easy kill.
Valkyries ship got blown up and it just made her go flying back, so dont think ripping through metal will be enough. She also did take part in the fight against Hela without any visible/permanent injuries.
Venom/Riot seem faster than the Asgardians, but the Asgardians are better fighters and it would be interesting to see how their weapons affect the Symbiotes. Plus the Asgardians are extremely durable, we know for a fact that Loki is bullet proof and they handle explosions far better than the symbiots, so not sure how well the symbiotes' attacks will hurt them.
Right now I say it's a toss-up. The symbiotes seem stronger and faster and will be ragdolling and throwing the Asgardians around, but the Asgardians have the possibility to do more lasting damage. We also know that with enough strength, one can tear off the symbiot from the host.

Well if asgardians can harm asgardians, and venom can replicate asgardian feats it's a pretty good chance. Also asgardians have good strength feats but not the best durability. While loki's armor may be able to resist a hand gun, des and troy were able to shatter asgardian bones
Actually Loki got shot in the face and it didn't do squat. He also took an exploding arrow to the face with no injuries. Des and Troy were shot against rotten Asgardian corpses.
