Yeah definitely stands true.
I was in to quote another post of yours, the one before that, to even back you up, as...
Sai leveled up to ice continent splitter only after unlocking hardening.
Same way the scabbards changed from invisible flowing CoA on their blades to hardened blades for their final group attack.
-> Hardening definitely is superior.
Luffy even changes his attacks' prefix when activating hardening: Giganto -> elephant/grizzly, jet ->hawk/eagle.
Super obvious
(hopefully CoC changes his attack names again btw lol)

It's just new readers who don't remember early post timeskip clearly who think that CoA = CoA hardening lol.
Hardening is undoubtedly a boost to attacks in general.
