It's difficult to asses how a ghoul using a kakuja would fair against a ghoul who doesn't have one at all, but is assumed to be around their level because we don't have much to compare at the moment. I think in total we've only seen about...six kakuja so far? Kaneki fought against Yamori and at the time, Yamori had an incomplete kakuja while Kaneki had none at all, but the former still won. Granted, it was through wits. Yoshimura and Eto we've only really seen fight against investigators. Kaneki got whooped twice by Shachi, but we never got to see Kaneki whip out his kakuja on him. Basic Sasaki stood his ground against Seidou in his kakuja form and Hinami was holding up for a while. Arata is ?????

A non kakuja ghoul going against a ghoul using a kakuja seems doable. It all goes back to the Rc cell quality/quantity thing. Kakuja ghouls are strong because cannibalizing "strengthens their blood". Even ghouls who don't gain a kakuja should hypothetically become stronger through cannibalizing because they're fortifying their blood as well, they just haven't triggered the mutation. Ghouls who can gain a kakuja probably have a lot more potential though.
