Whether the bar is lower or not it doesn't matter because to win a legaue Ash at least beat powerful trainers like Gladion who is more powerful than some league winners like Tyson and Virgil and Kukui+Tapu Koko which is easily champion tier trainer.Actually, no. There is an easy excuse for that. Alola's bar for a league is lower than the usual (they don’t have a 6 Pokémon requirement as well). While that doesn’t invalidate Ash's victory there, it means that Galar, where the Gym challenge is even stricter, is a new territory for Ash, with some trainers like Raihan of such a caliber that they could be champions of other regions if they wanted to. Not to mention Galar being restrictive on who challenges the gyms via sponsorships. There is plenty of room for Ash to grow in the Galar gym challenge anyways, and it’s bound to be more of a spectacle than PWC is, and the goal is virtually the same: reach Leon and defeat him. I don’t see why there is anything inherently wrong with Galar gyms as a goal for Ash. Galar's gym leaders are clearly shown to be more powerful and competitive than those of other regions: see Bea progressing to the top 100 trainers.
If he take Galar league and become champion his character won't grow like how he was top 8 in Hoenn league similar to Johto, Leon being world champion and Ash beat him in that tournament actually show his character progress, that's how story work
For e.g in inazuma eleven anime raimon team first win local tournament than national than international (while battling some so called aliens in middle).
If he somehow either lost Galar league or didn't become champion than this would be no different than Unova league where Ash did worst than Sinnoh, if he lost in PWC master 8 tournament than nothing will effect his character as the bar was world level.
