I know someone who went from a MO Yeshiva to one of the biggest Yeshivas in Israel. He knew the material very well and was able to handle all of the Bochan’s questions. The reason for this is that the topic of the Faher was a masehcta thay they don’t learn in Yeshivas so the Bochan wasn’t as ready to fight on the pshat (although it was very impressive that he was holding in it enough to ask questions). If you do a classic Yeshiva masechta the Bochan may have his own pshat and then it can be very challenging. But that’s not how most learning is. In addition, it depends on which MO hesder Yeshiva, some hesder yeshivas have rebbiem who are known to be extremely intense and aggressive (in a good way). Way more than any “black hat” Yeshiva.
