That was the actual point of the hidden leaf village by Madara and Hashirama. This is how they wanted it to be, living in peace and joy, also without shinobis losing their clan traditions. Hey, that was the point of even The Sage. I completely forgot about this.

The non-lethal nature of the exams is absolutely what Hagoromo wanted, and Hashirama would be absolutely hyped at the way things turned out. The way the villages are now is exactly what he hoped for.

And yes, Boruto without a kote should have figured out a way to get out of that bubble. The Kote made him feel easier, feel less relient on his craftiness that pops up when he wounds up in a corner.

From what I coukd think of, if Boruto was without the kote, he could have pratically backed a distance away from the bubbles and then blow them up with a shurikens, kunais, and even a shuriken with an explossive tag, like the kid was around all the explossive bubbles, that could be blown by just a pop, it's not essentially a controlled explossioj like Deidera's. The way, Boruto acted, it was as if there was a timer to the battle, when he could have backed down, or use his wind release to blow the bubbles back at him or even go around that kid. This shows how much desperate Boruto is to show his skills to Naruto. We seen him at his anime battles, with him having a cooler mind and taking a step back to think, this is obviously a different version of him, a version that'll only return back to normal after Naruto is taken away by Momo and Kinshi. While I'm displeased with his showing, I'm glad they're bridging the gap between the Boruto of the movie and the one of the series which, at first, seemed like two different people.
