The high astonishing all-encompassing Grandmaster Zoro is likely set to surpass Imu-sama by EoS.
He will surpass Mihawk, a character standing with a title that gives reassurance about his power on the chessboard, whereas Shanks, despite his inferior power status, is pretty much already a Roger level character or close, possessing a top CoC he can imbue his swordsmanship attacks with and capable to rather casually one shot Kidd, a character that was crucial in the defeat of a yonko in a 2 vs 1 Wano battle.
Imu's CoC is meant to stand above Shanks' CoC, but Imu represents ultimate darkness whereas Luffy, the embodiment of the Sun, represents the contrasting power in the balance of the verse, yet despite his G5 form that made him faster than Kizaru in attacking speed and overall more powerful, he would likely not win a confrontation with Shanks right now, as Shanks would outlast him.
If Luffy manages to achieve a time-resilient version of G5 and improve his CoC he will be able to defeat Shanks and Mihawk in a 1vs1, but EoS Zoro is a question mark and might go either way.
Imu would likely fail to control Zoro even if it tried today. The Mother Flame is also insufficient to defeat Current Luffy's G5.
Plus I don't buy the immortality crap, because One Piece is clearly set to make Imu cease to exist one way or the other and I severely doubt it will simply be by sealing.
My theory is that a sufficiently powerful CoC is going to work on Imu; and Gaban suggesting Luffy to improve his CoC goes beyond merely being able to defeat secondary characters like the God's Knights.
