The only major problem I had with the arc was the revival of the characters and the whole thing with hinata makes confession to seemingly die and everything goes back to normal. Like the war arc, sometimes you need a big impact and I guess Kishi assumed the visual of a destroyed Konoha would be enough. Pain was the perfect villian for this arc I believe.
