Doesn't letting Garuda jump 3 times make Aerial Blast do obscene amounts of damage?
Garuda's Aerial Blast damage is entirely reliant on how much damage the pillars have taken. Each "chunk" taken off a single pillar represents a certain chunk of additional Aerial Blast damage; I haven't paid close enough attention to say exactly how much, but that's the gist of the mechanic. So, yes, potentially if you're slow on killing the plumes, going through 3 plumes might exacerbate Aerial Blast, but it shouldn't be an issue to survive it with Sanguine Rite/Stoneskin/Sentinel/etc. Generally, the payoff of additional DPS time on Garuda by going through 3 plume spawns outweighs the risk.
