Korra's mastery of the Avatar State was a valuable asset that she could've used in defeating the Fire Lord, but given her proactive approach to saving the world, it's likely she wouldn't even have needed it. Aang shirked the Avatar State as a resource, seldom controlled it, and his world was lucky that fortune allowed him to use it at all.
While Korra starts at an older age than Aang - having already mastered three elements - it's not a huge leap to assume the Hundred Year War would have accelerated her training compared to her peaceful, isolated upbringing in the White Lotus compound. If her skills alone were not enough to defeat Ozai during a climactic final battle, her comfortable mastery of the Avatar State soon after gaining it would surely have won her the day. He had yet to master it even by The Last Airbender's finale, with Toph noting that Aang's earthbending could still use work by that point.

She would have embraced her training at an age before Aang even knew he was the Avatar, and would have mastered the elements far sooner.
But in her eagerness to fulfill her duty, she could very well have succeeded in many of the places Aang failed. In stark contrast, at the age of four Korra declared "I'm the Avatar! You gotta deal with it!" and was already bending three different elements at once - eight years ahead of when Aang first expanded beyond his own native element of air. The problems in Korra's time were the opposite of Aang's, with much of her arc revolving around her need to accept her vulnerabilities rather than her responsibilities. First learning he was the Avatar at age 12, Aang initially ran away from his home and became frozen for 100 years - during which his people were wiped out. Even after his awakening, he took months to embrace the importance of the responsibilities ahead of him.
That said, there was much to be desired in the fulfillment of his duties that begs the question of how the world may have been better off with a different Avatar in his role.

Aang was a wonderful protagonist to introduce audiences to the world of Avatar, making for a unique and refreshing character who defined much of what made the original series great.
