The 2 large beam sabers wouldn't really do much against other MS. Any decent pilot should be able to dodge them. (given their placement) The only way they wouldn't is if the Dendrobium charged them at full speed and they reacted too slowly. (and happened to be on the underside of the Dendrobium) Otherwise, the large beam sabers are only really good against battleships (which actually are their primary use).
And given that ballistic weaponry is usually easy enough to dodge a lot of the time, they're not really too reliable either. (which is why a lot of them are more made to spam when it comes to MS combat) Look at the fact that something as huge as the Neue Ziel is able to dodge a majority of them (only getting hit once by 1 missile that was shown from the Dendrobium). The only real challenge would be the micro-missile pods that can spam all sides with them.
The demolition chain, again, is mostly just battleship usage (or, as the name suggests, demolition, so can also be used for clearing large chunks of debris before, during, or after a battle.) Otherwise, useless against Mobile Suits.
The 2 claw arms are really only for the large beam sabers. They hardly have the multi-purpose usage for tackling other Mobile Suits like, say, the Bigro, Val Varo, or Neue Ziel, which have much wider degrees of movement (given their placement and all).
And the GP03S itself is mostly for escaping than battling other MS (its weapons being good for fending off other MS while it gets away.) The Dendrobium, as a whole, is mostly a long-haul-battle space defense unit against more large-scale assauls; not really for taking on Mobile Suits one-on-one. So a single, fast and maneuverable MS like the Tallgeese III actually wouldn't have TOO difficult a time dodging the Dendrobium's attacks. The only hinderance being its I-Field against its mega cannon (which it could get in closer to slice it with a beam saber, shoot it with its vulcans, or damage it with its heat rod when it passes by or something)
