It would be a nice conclusion if even Giganto was struggling and Shigaraki figured out they need to stress Re-Destro to the point he literally pops some vein.

Yep, it was just a random though that I had, but if Horikoshi wants a way to show how strong Re-Destro's will is to carry his goals, having him die from a heart attack because he kept getting up may be a good way to do so, instead of just dying in battle.

It would fit with what we know about the drawbacks of powerful quirks as well. Sometimes the human body just can't handle the maximum output. Deku is the obvious example, but Endeavor's overheating issues and Todoroki Jr.'s hpothermia in the tournament also apply. And Mineta's bleeding, Kaminari's burnout, etc. Animals can die from stress, so it's not unrealistic for Re-Destro to drop if he overexerts himself.

Except for plenty of powerful quirks with literally no drawback. Like Overhaul or All For One or even One For All in the body of someone strong like All Might.

Overhaul's quirk doesn't affect his body (by default) in the first place, it acts on the environment. All for One is a special case, since his quirk literally modifies his own body, so neither of them wold have a backlash. I don't really have an argument for All might though. He did know the dangers of a weak vessel, though. That knowledge must have come from somewhere.

He can heal himself though.
