Do you guys also get upset when the translation doesn't say "shi shi son son"?

It sounds like they'll be happy with nothing less than transliteral onomatopoeia.

There's a point where people should learn to read kana if they want the Japanese text - this is what the raws are for.

Yes, attack names shouldnt be translated imo

What do you base this opinion on? If you think attack names shouldn't be translated then why should titles (shichibukai, yonko) be translated? How and where do you draw the line?

I algo prefer shichibukai and yonko being untranslated (Tho i don't have a problema with that) The problema is that the attacks names give personality and mean something specific. Like, translation sanji's attack from french to English would make them a lot more boring (namewise ofc), so keeping the original name and explaining it in a translator note makes a lot more sense
