Whole Cake Island actually felt dangerous at the beggining, with the Seducing Woods with Cracker being shown as an opponent able of easely dealing with G4 Luffy and Brûlée's speech about how the Supernovas failed to do anything against Big Mom, the Enraged Army beating Luffy, the Tea Party with Katakuri's badass introduction, Big Mom and her crew easely beating the Straw Hats, Firetanks and Vinsmokes. But even then there were holes in this with the second part of the fight with Cracker being botched, Luffy and Sanji meeting again too easely, the Firetanks not being suspected by Big Mom at all.
And then after the Tamatebakko explosion everything went out of the window and any sense of real threat and epicness was gone in favour of too heavy plot armor and conveniences.
So far Wano lacks real sense of danger outside of Kaido's one-shot beating of Luffy and his epic speech about the Ancient Weapons and the New Onigashima Project. The raid really lacks any sense of danger so far with it being just like the second half of WCI, sometimes even worse.

first half of WCI was the peak of one piece, pure joy.
The new world and yonko hype payed off. It was just way too good... the good old times, man.
