I Either had to tone down the effectiveness of the Gem Homeworld's technology and engineering or boosted up the effectiveness of Star trek technology and engineering.

Either way, in my opinion, one side won't destroy the other. Instead the fight would end in a stalemate where both Starships are forced to break up the fight and limp back for repairs.

The Gem warship won't explode when it's reactor core is hit since it is in deep space in these pics, it would instead drift as it is temporarily incapacitated. The main reactor core is actually leaking into space in this situation.

Phasers would leave behind scars on a Gem warship's outer hull and depending on the power settings of the phasers, it can either scar or cut through the inner hull. Photon and quantum torpedoes would either dent the outer hull or create a temporary hull breach in which the robonoids are sent to do damage control on the affected area.

If either the phasers or torpedoes hit a vital section, the ship would suffer internal damage and would either be abandoned or retreat back to homeworld to receive repairs.

The federation ships would still receive their share of damage too.

And so if Earth Was the capital planet of a federation of planets, the Homeworld would have to do espionage and infiltration in order to weaken that federation, cut a swath of destruction in federation space and take earth (which would also dissolve the federation in it's wake).

And it would be harder to establish kindergartens on other planets in federation space because the starships of the federation usually come back to those planets to scan for changes and they will know something is wrong when what was previously a class M planet is suddenly found to be devoid of life (that happened multiple times in Star Trek). And the starship's sensors would also detect the kindergartens on the planet as well.
