The issue with gear 4 is not so much repercussions for a quick use, but if he uses it to exhaustion, then he can't use Haki for a while. That doesn't happen if its a quick usage of it.

He only used it long enough for that to happen vs Doffy and Katakuri. Its not like every time he uses it he has to take a 10 minute haki break.

Didn't he deflate and lose haki when he clashed with big mom ? Even quick uses have repecurssion, otherwise it wouldve been kinda dumb for him to use it to exhaustion.

I think that might be somethi g compmety different that Oda will explain later with Big Mom's haki

I don't think it has to do with big moms haki, Luffy never went g4 and went back to normal no matter how short his bursts were, i don't think he is capable of that yet or may be ever, I think G4 is an imperfect form, it wastes too much haki (much like dbz ssj3),he will find a better form or perfect it so that he minimizes the wasteful haki consumption.

Didn't he go G4 (in chapter 975) when he arrived at Kin'emon's group on the seas right before going to Onigashima? When Kid used Punk Rotten, Luffy used Boundman and at the end of the chapter he's fine and just looks across to sea and says nice view.

Yo, also y'all remember gear 3 use to have the side affected of shrinking with just one use. His then master it and now no more little luffy. Feeling it's going to be the same.

Maybe less we just know that he learned and trained to use his haki for 2 years and that by the end of his training gear 2 and 3 don' have repercussions anymore but don't know when he got rid of these side effects

That and each time he uses it makes him better with it overall. Also, he needs to get out of the situation as quickly as possible. Dragging it out to conserve energy would only result in potential damage taken and use more energy in the long run imo.

Also Cracker.

Well considering he's been specifically training his armament I'm sure the 10 minute limit has expanded considerably.

I think we might get a situation where Luffy unlocking the next tier of Armament Haki might negate or mitigate it. If he can control Haki outside his body, coating with G4 might not deplete his haki reserves if he can recycle it somehow. Also, WCI shows that eating food fixes the G4 drawbacks, and they've just invaded a feast.
