This should be a relatively straightforward scaling upgrade thread (though regardless of the outcome, I might have to revisit these characters again next year...)
According to the updated edition of the Marvel Studios Character Encyclopedia that came out a couple of months ago, it is directly stated that as a super soldier, Red Guardian has enhanced physical capabilities comparable to Captain America, even if the two never met:
In the same book, Taskmaster is confirmed to have enhanced strength and durability with her suit, with it also being stated that with her ability to replicate fighting styles taken into account, she was able to give Red Guardian the match against Captain America he always wanted:
I don't think Taskmaster being upgraded to super soldier levels would cause scaling issues, considering she easily dominated characters on Black Widow's level and kept forcing them to retreat throughout the movie. I'm pretty sure none of them ever managed to actually damage Taskmaster, and only stopped her by reversing her brainwashing. If Taskmaster is also bumped up to super soldier level, the only other notable scaling anti-feat I can think of for Red Guardian is that Yelena slightly hurt him with a punch at one point.
