This is how I would love the fight to play out.
Before the fight and throughout the fight luffy would be stronger than Blackbeard (he does not look like someone who is proficient in haki), however, blackbeard would negate luffys df abilities in the process reducing luffys battle prowess significantly and the only way for luffy is to defeat him just using plain old haki and some plot.
Now you might be asking then why is oda introducing joyboy and g5. I think those are for the final villain someone who actually has a connection to joyboy.
Haki- blackbeard
df (and haki)- final villain
Now you might be asking won't that mean that eos zoro, mihawk and shanks would be stronger than bb, maybe or just that eos fluffy would be able to beat them with just haki
