Oda really doesn't seem to care at all about what some might call a balance of power. Like EOS Usopp doesn't have to beat Kuro in a fight, and so on. Ironic because of how many people complain about Oda being repetitive and he doesn't use a generic combat pattern at all. Of all things, Robin SHOULD have Haki with her background, and she'd be a complete monster with just armament.
The only way I can see Awakening being relevant is if it manifests differently. With her power set, the regular paramecia awakening means jack shit.
