I also think frustration, i.e. the mental battle, will be the one thing that will stop Luka. But I don't think it will be directed towards team management. Luka has shown he cares very little about how the team is run and has divorced himself from that aspect of the franchise. Correctly so imo. LuGM is more a meme than say LeGM which is a very real thing.
But I believe his frustrations towards the refs or himself during a game is his one weakness. It's also a strength that he is so passionate that it fuels his desire to win. But it can also take him out of games.
If Luka matures in the way you are describing, perhaps this goes away. If that does then the league should watch out more than they already have to.
