I'm not sure those stats show Pace as having an upper hand over Reutemann.

Yes - Pace scored more points over the season, but there were too many DNF's (IMO) to reach a conclusive position. There were only three races that they both finished, which I feel is too small a sample size.

Could he have won a WDC - possibly. But so many other factors would have to align that (sadly) we will never know.

Interesting question though. In 2014, Pace was rated 34th of all time so he is definitely held in high regard by many.
