I've become a lot more comfortable with Gear 5 lately. I just didn't want Luffy to be invincible, and, while this arc has proven Gear 5 Luffy is a nightmare to fight, he and the Straw Hats aren't invincible, they're top heavy with some real heavy hitters, have great teamwork and a lot of intelligence, but the Gorosei are still on another level.
Actually seeing Luffy clash with the highest authoriy in the world is crazy, they've got poison nukes and shit.
I always loved Gear 5 as a power up, but worried it would take away from how serious One Piece can be. Thankfully, the GOAT Kuma and his flashback proved me wrong.
If you're into military strategies and historical world building about unification of China then it's a perfect manga.
But you probably are not the type to dive that kind of stuff because it's more on a serious themes but it's fine. Give it another chance if you ever change your mind. The manga is worth it.
