UBW is a part of Shirou, he may not be able to access it until late in the story, but it isn't something he can ever get rid of. With adding Sora's stuff on top of UBW and Avalon still being inside him, it runs the risk of making him a munchkin once he starts fixing some of his issues.
The other stuff does seem like it will work out much better.
So what you're saying is that you think that Keyblade+UBW+Avalon is too hax? Technically Avalon by itself is hax. It's
the ultimate defence when activated, and gives you Regen when it's not. However, Saber becoming a Summon Gem will cut of the prana flow, meaning that Shirou's regen will only be active when she's summoned, and Saber only cottoned onto the possibility that Avalon was in Shirou in the Fate route after he'd healed from a fatal wound
again. Seeing as Sora had, and Shirou will have, access to Cure fairly early on, Shirou may never discover that Avalon is within him.
As for UBW, Shirou only realised that his weapon Tracing stemmed from his RM while fighting Gil. And that was after seeing Archer use it , and then the two of them fighting to the point where Shirou absorbed a lot of Archer's skill. Under different circumstances, Shirou's, what, a decade or more away from actualising UBW on his own?
I've got a good idea of how Shirou's strength and power level will progress as the fic goes on, and the antagonists will be challenges for him (with a few possible exceptions.
