Let's see... Sombra was defeated by Celestia and Luna together, while Chrysalis overpowered Celestia... So Celestia and Luna > Sombra, and Chrysalis > Celestia. If it were Celestia and Luna vs. Chrysalis, or just Celestia vs. Sombra... we don't know. One thing we do know is that Sombra is extremely powerful in shadow form which is a weakened state, so he's probably even more powerful in physical form (espeically since it has to have something over a form where he is immune to most attacks and can regenerate his horn). All he does after regaining physical form is try to kill Spike, and when that fails, Cadance and the Crystal ponies quickly use the Crystal Heart to destroy him.

We might just see a Tirek-level villain again, plus King Sombra did try to impale Spike, and licks his lips when he's about to do so, and if you think hard enough about it it's presumed he killed the Crystal Empire's previous ruler, and he uses fear on the crystal ponies so I'll say he's on Tirek's level (just not in terms of dialog).
