The only way a G5RV doesn't need a choke/balun is if you don't care whether your feedline radiates or not ... and that means all the way down the line and back into your shack.

Would you rather have RF coming back down your feedline into the shack
instead of "wasting your RF power"?

First I have heard of using any "choke bead" for a G5RV. If it's
getting hot then it's wasting a lot of your RF power.
