I doubt that. Imu seems like a Kaguya power level material from the introduction

Dragon vs Garp
Nah, Oda usually goes for visually impressive and imitating in his serious antagonists, Imu looks weaker than Aisa.
To be fair, Blackbeard also does not fit that stereotype, but at least with him you have an excuse, he is supposed to resemble a realistic pirate.

The Current strength of the WG is already much higher than the combined forces of the Yonkou. This is an organization that's been ruling the world for centuries. Compared to that the Yonkou system looks like a school project that's getting dropped after some years.
- MarineHQ+SSG ~ Yonkou
Add CP0, Kong, Gorosei (who might all be Top Tiers), Impel down etc and it's not even a debate.
I think Marines, whether before or during the war, will have a splitting though.
It´s obvious Oda is building up a reasonable faction and absolute justice faction, the former will need to stay around after the war.
So i can see Aokiji, Fuji, Ryu, Smoker, Coby and so forth fighting for the former.
