Making their power levels match equally would be stupid and missing the point. Kong is supposed to represent nature and its inherent gentleness, while Godzilla is supposed to represent humanity and its penchant for destruction.
Also, Kong doesn't need a high power level because he's clever. Godzilla, on the other hand, doesn't need to be clever because he's literally a walking nuke.
Godzilla is shown to be extremely intelligent and clever in the Monsterverse though. Especially when it comes to combat intelligence. I think it might be more fair to say that Godzilla doesn't really need to rely on tools like Kong does.
Also, I'm not sure for this particular version of Godzilla that I agree with your first point either. This is a version of Godzilla that mostly goes out of his way to avoid causing destruction towards humans. Monsterverse Godzilla is driven by preserving some kind of natural balance between humanity, the Titans, and the rest of nature. But he still has the will to dominate to achieve that goal.
