Idk, I feel like luffy's progressions is earned even if it's happening fast. H
- He honed his haki and trained for two years with the second in command to the greatest pirate that's ever lived. He learns Conquerer's Haki usage from one of the few masters of Conquerer's Haki alive.
- Then he unlocked Gear Fourth against one of the strongest Shichibukai possible and used the technique multiple times.
- Then he unlocked one of the strongest forms of observation Haki after fighting two Yonkou Commanders in short succession, and fighting an hours-long marathon against a head-commander. So he effectively learned Observation Haki mastery from one of the strongest Observation Haki users alive.
- Then he traveled to a country with so many powerful people that even the world government doesn't mess with 'em. He got a taste of fighting the strongest creature on the planet and immediately started physical training thanks to the seastone cuffs and prison labor.
- Then he meets one of Wano's strongest warriors (not anymore but only due to being starved and aging). That old man teaches him expertise in Armament Haki that seems like it's unique to Wano since Oden's the only person to hurt Kaido and the RYO-infused attacks of his disciples had impact.
- From there Luffy fights three times with the strongest creature alive and gets to perfect infusing Haki (including conquerer's) into his attacks against that monster.
So if we're keeping score. He learned Conquerer's Haki from one of the greatest users of Coquerer's Haki. He learned Observation Haki from one of the greatest users of Observation Haki. Next he mastered Armament Haki in the country that perfected it. Finally, he learned to combine everything he's learned in combat with the strongest opponent possible. It's fast progression, but it's merited. He learned some of the best uses of each form of Haki from some of the absolute masters of each form. He got to perfect each technique through repeated trial and error (with his others saving him from losing more than once between the Doflamingo, Cracker, Katakuri, and Kaido fights). Now he's got to put everything together to beat the strongest character we've seen.
I think it's fair. The toughest one to justify is how he survived the Katakuri fight. But the power-ups themselves feel like they were earned, especially after it was stated that Haki blooms in life or death situations.
