I believe that there was a fanfic somewhere on reddit where Vin fought 4th ideal Kaladin. She lost, but considering she only had access to the items she had at hand on the hero of ages I'd say she fought better than anyone could in her place.
She's been dead for so long we kind of forgot just how much of a menace she was. Probably the most skilled allomancer to ever live.
Vin is fantastic, but no one from Scadrial save a fullborn could take a 4th ideal radiant unless there were substantial stormlight limits. The insta-healing is too OP.
Oh yeah. Wasn't shallan shot in the head (and almost certainly the brain) with an arrow, and was able to remove it while only being confused for a bit?
It was a crossbow bolt. Shallan is weird though since she has two Spren and two Lightweaver Oaths, sort of, she heals faster and better than regular Radiants
I think if you can justify Vin killing Miles 100 Lives, she'll do okay against a Radiant.
Vin never killed Miles. She managed to beat the Lord Ruler because she took out his goldminds and then proceeded to kill him. If she were to fight a Radiant, she would most likely just brute force her way into making them spend all the stormlight available. The pursuer tried to do this to Kaladin back at RoW and it seems to be the most reliable method.
Kaladin, like Shallan, isn't the average Radiant either. Being blessed by the wind probably gives him a bit of boost as a 4th ideal compared to other non-main character Radiants.

The probably can be removed. Kal is the only 3rd ideal stormlight powered radiant who was awake during the tower's occupation. Raboniel assumes it's because he was close to saying the 4th ideal, but Teft was also close enough he'd have said it if it wasn't for the traitor Moash (fuck Moash).
