Your key words here is "If they had intel on what he could do". Look at what Naruto did to Nagato when he had intel on him. Nagato died, same with Shika vs Hidan, Sasuke was prepared for Deidara's C4 explosives. Bottomline is all Akatsuki can be taken down if the opponent had intel before the fight. Then the fight is all about execution. Shikamaru is a master at execution because he can manipulate the enemy the way he wants. We've seen this multiple times.

Hidan's fighting style is very simple. Use his scythe to draw blood then do his ritual which after that you are done.

Remember all anyone has to do is cut Hidan's body up. Cut his arms and he's done. Kakuzu was the one who put Hidan back together after fights. Kakuzu used his black thread to sew Hidan back together.

I agree, Hidan is the weakest because he doesn't use much jutsu. He's formidable fighter with his scythe but that's it.
