My tests in CA weren't especially close, the +2 bonus damage is just too impactful for how squishy warriors are
Post-Imp was a bit more interesting: out of the 25 battles I let the AI play out, Ghulams won 11 and Eagles won 14, with picrel being the most decisive result. I eventually switched to a single-line formation, thinking the double lines ever so slightly favourited Ghulams, but noticed no differences: sometimes the Eagles would just clump up of their own accord and get slaughtered, other times they'd take 1v1s and win
Adding proper backline support (10 HC/10 Plumes) heavily favoured Ghulams once again since a couple of them could mop up Plumes in an instant, which the Eagles could not do; on top of that, this method of testing does not take into consideration how impactful Shatagni would be in an actual game
