Luffy's gears are basically Luffy thinking up ways to up his power by taking advantage of the nature of his devil fruit ability. I also completely agree with Sanji's big moment being bigger than the gear 3 moment here.

Lucci said that his gear can only be used by someone like Luffy. His doping and augmentation works because his rubber body can support the strain and stress on the heart and other organs.

Lucci mentioned that the gear power is unique to only luffy given the nature of his devil fruit :)

So on the topic of filler. After all this is done, there is filler during the final moments of the arc that you should check out because it's some of the better filler moments (but I get you may want to skip it for reactions) but the second filler not long after that is like some of the worst. However, the filler that I think you must check out is 336 (the filler does add up to a lot, so its a good portion you're skipping). Especially since you love chopper.

Right now, I would say think of Luffy's gear forms as techniques he can use because of his devil fruit. Devil fruit users will use their powers based on their own understanding. Example the guy with the exploding boogers don't need to use the boogers but that's how he uses his devil fruit. Another example is Wapol combining his minions.
