Oda is going to have to do A LOT more than just give Law and Kid awakening if he wants to have them take down Big Mom in any kind of convincing manner.
Not that much more
If their awakenings were enough to push big mom to sacrifice 1 year of her life, then at most I think they'd need 1 power up each to take her down. However I feel like Kid and Law are largely underestimated and Big Mom is largely overestimated. It could be that they just need new forms/techniques with the stuff they already have to beat her.

What if there's another level to awakening.
We know that there is levels to haki mastery.
CoA hardening-->Ryuo-->ACoC
It doesn't make sense for what we saw with awakening to be the final level of DF mastery, imo there has to be something more. And that can't just be using awakening for a long time. In enies lobby, Jabra and spandam implied that there are literal devils inside DFs. What if awakening is the literal awakening of these devils.
Merely spreading your powers to the surroundings is just the first stage of awakening. Full awakening is what we saw with the impel down guards. Whereas the user normally controls the fruit, with the Impel down guards, you have the fruit controlling the user. Despite being humans, the jailer beasts acted more like tamed animals due to their awakenings.
