Powers & Abilities Why Brook will be EXTREMELY important in Wano War

I think a lot of people have been heavily underestimating the capabilities of big mom. And this isn't entirely the fans fault, given how much Oda has nerfed her in the past few arc. However as of yet, there are no plot nerfs constricting big mom, meaning that she will be using her full power in this arc.

That is a huge problem in more ways than one. While big mom's own personal strength as a yonko cannot be overstated, what might perhaps be even more frightening are her devil fruit abilities. While these abilities are often seen by many fans to be secondary to her own physical strength, they very, very overpowered, and have the potential to change the tide of the entire war, if big mom were to have her way.

With her fruit, Big Mom can create a near endless army of homies. In a war where the allies are already hugely outnumbered, big mom's abilities could crush the allies entire hopes and dreams of defeating kaido. The one counter to this, however is brook.

Brook's yomi yomi no mi has shown to actually have superiority over the soru soru no mi. Through the use of his fruit, brook can directly damage intangible homies, such as prometheus and zeus. Through his music, brook can even "exorcise" the homies and release the souls from their bodies.

This will be brook's role this arc. If the tide shifts in the direction of the allies, big mom will surely use her fruit to create a homie army. With the beast pirates as her allies, she can take a few years of lifespan from extremely powerful characters such as the calamities, and even kaido himself. Her awakening might even increase the range of her soul pocus, allowing her to grab souls from the entirety of onigashima, maybe even from the shores of wano. If she does this, brook is the one and only person who can stop her.

He will single handedly stand down an entire army of homies and exorcise each and every one of them, effectively nullifying big mom's ability. Through this, he might even awaken some sort of a power up, such as devil fruit awakening.

That makes sense... Just a problem with the last part, I don't think Brook will awaken his DF earlier than Luffy...
Brook will awaken his devil fruit before luffy because he has had his devil fruit longest out of the strawhat and I don't think that luffy won't awaken his devil fruit as he hasn't had his devil fruit for a certain amount of time for it to be awaken like with doffy (41) and katakuri (48)( had there devil fruit more than 20 years).

I don't see such a powerful avenue for strength gain to be locked off to the main character, especially when some fodder zoans have awakening.
