Like I said, I don't think the illness is part of the story, it's just a non-canon side story.

The nerfing however, possibly. I still don't discount the theory that Naruto doesn't actual die against Kawaki, and that it was a ploy by Kodachi to get people interested in the manga. True, the laser eyes Delta had could theoretically kill him, but unless Kawaki spins everything around and becomes this new Ten-Tails' Jinchuriki, I don't think its going to happen.
