It would immediately be much more nuanced if it was an equal potency-per-kenki as Shinten when used on Gekko/Kasha, but having a special effect on any of the Sen generating weapon skills could be fun too. Currently a SAM rotation with enough SKS uses Hagakure to dump a seal from filler to stay aligned, but what if Kaiten on a Gekko for instance didn't generate a seal and instead applied a 10 Kenki discount to your next Shinten or something, anything. There are limitless possibilities, and I think they would be making a mistake removing such a demonstrably beloved action because the scope of the patch restricts any more extensive changes.
Is the funny thing about all this Kaiten nonsense. If it didn’t have a cool animation no one would care. That alone should let you know that it can be chopped if they are trying to clear up space.

Additionally, the combination of buttons can also be done while taking away Kaiten. However, people have this obsession with a certain number of buttons on their hot bar
