I'm not homosexual myself but I'm guessing when you're just figuring out that you are it can be quite confusing and might make you so confused that it makes you 'sick'. Also maybe it was the word 'heart' in the title of the episode that was half of the reason I thought this was the case. Also I know it didn't end up being that he loves Boruto like that, but if it had been, it still seemed like it would be pretty hard for him to come to terms with but would eventually embrace it. A lot of kids (and adults too but to go along with the point you made about that kids watch this) have to go through being different like this and are told its 'bad' to be homosexual. So if one of their favorite shows had a couple that were, then maybe it would make them feel the least bit better. And I'm sorry, but based on their relationship throughout the show, it doesn't seem like a normal 'best friends til the end' kind of relationship. I feel like that would describe Boruto and Shikadai's the best if I had to choose. Maybe its just that Mitsuki doesn't really know how to talk like normal humans but its more than just their words to each other. And I mean it wouldn't be the first time in a show that the show had a homosexual couple. Like on youtube, I'm ALWAYS getting this one ad about an anime about this homosexual couple. (I can't for the life of me remember what the show is called). I know Boruto is much more mainstream than that one but still. Not everyone's going to like every single dission (I can't spell it right right now but I think you know what I'm trying to spell) a show makes. Some would praise them for it some would be threatening the show creator's lives for dumb reasons like people did to the creator of SSB just because he didn't add cutscenes to one of the newest games. So people LOOK for things to hate about a show/game sometimes, so there's just not pleasing some people. As far as I know, going a new route for a character couple in a show as 'mainstream (I know there are still people out there still being like, 'What's a Naruto...?' XD so its not as mainstream as say DBZ not even Naruto is) has never led to that show's demise.
