Yes it would.

If Zoro and Sanji are able to defeat Kizaru 1v2, it shows them as above Kaido’s commander conclusively and emphasizes the growth of the strawhats, but it still leaves possibility of an admiral being a threat to them 1v1 and therefore there’s tension.


Then when we fight fight Blackbeard, and Kuzan is a major player, there would still be a question mark if Zoro and Sanji can handle handle him 1v1z

Sanji would ruin this fight, and Zoro is already enough to beat Kizaru. You should be pround that your fav being stomped by Zoro.
 
Oda is a very predictable writer
With G5 Luffy is looking unbeatable and the fans are overhyping him like it was the case with the previous gear
Gear 2 and Gear 3 showed their limit in Thriller Bark, as Luffy needed the shadows to go Nightmare Luffy against Oars and to combine both to beat Moria
G4 showed his limits in WCI, as Luffy needed Nami's help against Cracker and to unlock FS against Katakuri
It will be shown by the end of the arc that G5 is NOT invincible, whether it is by Saturn or Kizaru hands.
Wouldn't even be surprised if Oda had this Luffy vs Lucci clash so he could show Luffy being overwhelming G5 one last time. Just to make the shock value of him getting packed in G5 even bigger.

Oda likes to parallel pre TS a lot but with slight variation.

Ex: Dressrosa is Alabasta but if Crocodile had succeeded in taking over the kingdom.

Luff will punch Saturn like Charlos, but unlike Charlos, Saturn will then proceed to beat Luffy’s ass.
