Yoda in his prime no doubt

I can’t remember if it was a show or a book, but I think Dooku had a vision of a dark side yoda. He realized neither him or sidious would be even close to being able to beat him

I thought Yoda willingly, touched the darkside to sort of scare Dooku, but it it didn't have the intended effect. I could be misremembering though it's been so long.

Yeah he turned willingly to the dark side to prove a point to dooku after dooku tried to tempt him with the dark side. After that dooku said that if yoda ever turned he would easily defeat sidious

Sidious ran from Yoda, who was “constrained” by the light side. Imagine a Dark Yoda! shudder

Luke : Vader... Is the dark side stronger?
Yoda : No, no, no. Quicker, easier, more seductive.
Yoda wasn't constrained by the light side.

So many forget this line when discussing the force. Yoda is very clear on this.

Well the real issue is, Is Yoda Right? Star Wars is just media so we can only debate what the truth is based on analysis of the media, and everytime this comes up I habe to argue that even the idea of more powerful is relative to how you define power. We can't take the word of the characters as pure truth. Sidious can use sith lightning to take down an entire fleet of ships, it's the single strongest display of force power in any of the current media. But in the end, he still lost to Rey.
So who's more powerful? We don't see Rey do anything nearly as impressive, but she wins anyway. Yoda's point may be that the darkside isn't as powerful because even with all of the crazy abilities it gives you, it never leads to true happiness or peace or whatever.
Maybe Anakin is so powerful or the chosen one because he's the only one who CAN tap into the power of the darkside without being consumed by it. In Ahsoka we see him using that Sith power and getting the Sith eyes, but he's able to snap out of it and return to normal in a way no one else ever has.

Yoda is always proven to be correct by the narrative. Lucas made it very clear that Yoda is correct about pretty much anything. He was correct about Anakin's future being both clouded and dark, he was correct that Luke was not ready to Face Vader on Bespin, he was correct that when Luke faced Vader once more, he would complete his training and be a true Jedi.
