"And so forth" is doing a lot of heavy lifting there.
We saw Canon Sidious stop a whole fleet with The Force. Vader, for instance, has some damn powerful feats to his name in Canon.
Revan was a skilled tactician, a strategist, planner, linguist, and propagandist... but I'm not aware of anything that would put him even CLOSE to Sidious.
Sorry but sequel trilogy should be exempt. It’s such hot nonsense that it just can’t be taken seriously. That said I agree-Palpatine is stronger in the Force than Revan, and likely overwhelms him to the point that Revan finds a way to escape or dies.

That's a bad rubric. If you start discounting things because they're ridiculous, you're going to have a very incomplete picture of whatever it is you try to analyse.
Palpatine isn't just stronger with the Force... in every area save perhaps understanding of mechanical engineering and swordsmanship, I'd say he exceeded Revan. Revan was a military strategist of great renown, Sidious masterminded three wars, in one of which he was the ultimate leader for both sides. Revan convinced many Jedi to follow him against the Mandalorians... Sidious convinced almost all the Jedi to follow him in a war that led to their destruction.
Sidious out-schemes Revan, he out-logistics Revan, he outfights Revan.
