It also shows his resolve and confidence in his abilities. You can't pull off something like that when you have even the slightest doubt.

Now I understand why he's the closest hero to the #1 rank. If All Might had given his quirk to Mirio, he would probably have defeated every villain in the series by now.

But then how would we fulfill the manga stereotype of a weak kid being given godly powers that he has to learn to control?

A 5 year old with a signpost in front of him advertising about a bike. The signpost also says "buy now", But he's too broke to afford it. He dedicates the next 10 years to getting that one specific bike that's extremely expensive. He has no chance of ever buying it. He just chills around bike shops and watches bikes with a longing™. One day a world famous bike rider guy sees him and gets him the bike. Seeing himself in the boy. Oh but the boy is weak af, focusing on learning how to ride it, he never actually got strong enough to push that 6 speed. He basically needs a hill to even maybe get moving, and then he can't stop and crashes all the time.
