If Borsalino doesn't transform into light his innards get destroyed, no doubt. But that's the difference, he's way more skilled in combat than Linlin.
The Admirals have been hinted to have Future Sight (Aokiji vs WB and Akainu vs Marco & Vista at Marineford) and can canonically use Barriers. I don't see Borsalino taking any damage from the SN duo's current moveset if he can access his logia intangibility in time. It's even worse if he has Future Sight and can shapeshift accordingly.
