Any kind of ability is on par with wood release if you have enough chakra. But as far as we know, Kimimaro wasn't special other than Shikotsumyaku, implying it was the KKG that made him this powerful. Hashirama, on the other hand, was known to have won the superpower lottery, while Yamato was nowhere near that powerlevel.
