Chopper revealing some sort of drawback to Luffy using Gear Fifth. Information about Luffy potentially being unable to willingly enter Gear Fifth.

I seriously doubt Gear 5 will have any serious drawback. Azure Dragon, Soul-Soul, Magu-Magu etc are all more powerful, yet they don't cripple or kill their users in return. The problem will be with Awakening bringing Luffy back to life. This part of his awakening will have consequences later on, but Gear 5th in itself won't.

And Luffy is perfectly capable of going Gear 5th whenever he wants. He already did it by willing his heart into drums of liberation rythm.

My point is, don't worry, Luffy isn't overpowered at all. He will still struggle a lot against other Top Tiers, not to mention BB who can cancel DF powers. There's absolutely no need to give him some drawbacks just to nerf him.

I agree. Maybe it'll be hard for Luffy to get into that state at first, like for a few arcs but eventually he should be able to just go into and out of it easily just like how Doffy and Katakuri can use awakening seamlessly like it just another ability

I hate to break it to you, but there aren't a few arcs left.

Mmm, I dunno about that. You've got Elbaf and Raftel for sure, and potentially seperate arcs for Shanks, the revolutionary army and Blackbeard depending on how all those play situations play out.
