Kiryu doesn’t need any souls to fight. I guess his purely offensive abilities would work, and stuff like wormhole manipulation definitely gives him a leg-up but it certainly ain’t gonna be an easy fight. It's mostly Sasuke's frankly ridiculous hax that thwarts Kiryu if you make those assumptions. He has MANY ways to stymy any possible offense Kiryu tries to mount. He tries to get up close? Sasuke can teleport, clone himself for distractions (In Boruto, Sasuke DOES show knowledge of how to make Shadow Clones), repel projectiles with Almighty Push (or use Amenotejikara to turn them against Kiryu by swapping places with it). Amenotejikara also proves to be a very good way of taking Akane out of the fight. It's as simply as Kiryu attacks, Sasuke uses Amenotejikara to swap places with Akane to cause Kiryu to end Akane right there. And Sasuke's chakra reserves, even if he spams his most powerful techniques, far outlasts Kiryu's battery (As a note: The Susano'o is one of Sasuke's most draining abilities, and even with liberal usage of it, including less efficient versions, Sasuke was still capable of going nearly an entire day before running out of Chakra. He doesn't even have the excuse of being a Jinchuuriki like Naruto does).

Also, what's even the source for Planet-level, High Hypersonic-to-relativistic Kiryu? Yes, Sasuke’s abilities are pretty whack but most of what you just mentioned doesn’t really change much. Akane is completely irrelevant here, again, Kiryu has an internal AI that can fight on it’s own, and it’s debatable whether Sasuke can even get rid of the Godzilla soul in the first place. Yes, Sasuke can distract and use teleportation to get an edge, but Kiryu’s own sped and sheer size means that he’s more than capable of getting a hit in. Those techniques work better when your opponent isn’t over 50x bigger than you. Sasuke has better stamina, but again, he would never try and stall Kiryu because for all he knows Kiryu’s power supply is limitless, he wouldn’t be able to figure out he only lasts 2 hours. Sorta like me in bed. That’s not even factoring in the microwaves in the Heron that can recharge Kiryu on the fly. Sasuke could stop this, but a) he wouldn’t know what the Heron was doing given something like Kiryu doesn’t exist in his universe and b) it would be weird for him to try and take out Akane immediately when he has no idea who she is, is justsorta circling around in a plane, and Kiryu is the obviously bigger threat. Sasuke is smart, yes, but him figuring all that out seems highly unlikely. Kiryu also has means of just holding Sasuke down. He has wires that were able to restrain kaiju like Godzilla, more than capable of at least temporarily restraining Sasuke, even with his clones and teleportation. A solid hit from Kiryu will seriously hurt Sasuke while the same can’t be said for the inverse. Again, I think Sasuke probably has an edge here, but it’s a close fight.

Kiryu’s relativistic via scaling to Gigan in the comics, who has a feat of sending crystals from moon to Earth in seconds. The planet-level stuff comes from scaling to monsters like SpaceGodzilla and Destoroyah in the comics. On it’s own this is debatable, but it is supported by a planet level feat in the Godzilla pachinko game of all things, and that contentious black hole feat Kiryu has in Half-Century War. Again though, it is still debatable, which is why I specified that if you want to accept this then Kiryu stands a chance.
