You do have a point about stats not playing a critical role, however they're somehow important since some armor abilities cannot be pierced unless some rank is achieved. For example, Gil had to use A rank noble phantasms to deal some damage to Heracles. Also, Siegfried skin was damaged only because karna’s attacks were higher than B rank.

Nonetheless, in terms of ability ability, Enkidu must have a good fighting ability even if it's focused on holding down his opponent, as in some forms of fights like judo or wrestling (in this case using chains and such haha). The result of any battle isn’t set in stone, and just because we know of some of the background and abilities of the servants doesn’t mean that their fights will go in a specific way. The same as Heracles breaking out from chains of heaven, Gil being defeated by a non-servant or EMIYA survival’s of a sure hit attack, if Karna has all the advantages with all his might, it doesn´t mean Enkidu won’t surpass him or the other way around.

However we must take into account the mental state of each servant, the place and circumstances to favor Enkidu or Karna. In any case, I favor Enkidu backed with Gaia because he’s always willing to fight gods even if he knows he’s at a disadvantage, and will find a way to come out victorious using his mindset of a weapon, regenerative and strategic abilities and his goal to protect nature from the one sided rule of supreme beings (he’d have an advantage if it were in a place abundant of life). Karna has a will strong enough to keep fighting even if everything is against him, along with his top class fighting abilities and noble phantasms, but the amount of time he can fight in his best form must be rather short. If Enkidu were able to hold him down enough time to penetrate his armor and finish him, it would be his win. Finally, I don’t think Enkidu would be able to keep up the battle with a normal master, as Karna kept on attacking. As always, I’d be rooting for Enkidu all the way.
