I will probably let Persona users get a physical boost in my RPG so they can compete with summoners and shit in the real world

BUT I don't think they can cast spells and shit outside of the cognitive realm

Persona-users in P3-P5 probably can summon their Personas in the real world. In P4A the way the P3 team talks is as if the Midnight Hour didn't help them summon their Personas at all, and it was simply the Evokers which let them summon a Persona. It's emphasized a couple times that it is possible to summon one without an Evoker but it's much more difficult, and it's only when they enter the TV world where they can easily summon a Persona without an Evoker at all because of the TV world's connection to the sea of unconsciousness.

In P1-P2 there's no trouble at all summoning a Persona anywhere. People can summon them any time without much difficulty and without any special alternate dimensions or whatever. The rules on that and other things like only Fool arcana's being able to use multiple Persona's changed in P3. There's an interesting scene in P2 where a Devil Summoner (Tamaki) fights a fairly powerful Persona-user (King Leo) and is significantly beaten, so at least by P1-P2 rules summoners and Persona-users are probably on the same level-ish.
