If God is set to play any randomly chosen winning move, yes.
Since it is omnicient there is no point in talking about risk, or chances
in any context.
For a simple definition of God applied to a single game, yes. For an
entity in strength between God and Devil (who knows also the opponent's
strategy in hindsight), possibly no. For God without hindsight during a
tournament, no. For Devil in a single game or Devil with tournament
hindsight, yes.

In maximize score mode it would choose the move that maximizes the total
points taken on the board. It would be the perfect Hahn system player

Wrong, since Hahn system has an upper score rewarding boundary. (The
thing that punishes me for having taken a "too great" risk when killing
70 stones groups.)

More challenging for whom? For God, it is equally boring.
