The Thu'um is a very powerful yet versatile technique used by the Dragonborn and those few others who have the capability to use it like the Greybeards but it can only do so much, the man who founded the Greybeards was a warrior who used the Thu'um for warfare and conquest but he still lost. He realized that it shouldn't be meant to kill but to bring glory to the Divines. Now against Mortals, a Thu'um can have a very devastating effect upon the enemy but it doesn't work for all situations, the False Tribunal are god-like beings and it wouldn't completely destroy them and probably wouldn't even damage them all that heavily. Maybe mixed with the Dragon Aspect shout, there is a chance but other than that, they would be able to crush the person using it underfoot. As for the Daedra, it could work to destroy their physical forms but not their spirits since they could come back and attack with almost unlimited numbers as seen with the Oblivion Crisis and it wouldn't have the power to harm a Daedric Prince. This much is practically shown when Miraak, the first and technically the strongest Dragonborn to have existed other than the Last Dragonborn, had to find a way to escape the clutches of Mora rather than force his way out of the Prince's realm.
