What you really want is a choke with enough Z to hold back the CM current altogether thereby not burning any power at all. For a single band antenna you can do that with a resonance trap but for a multband you rely on some wideband choke that can be had to achieve.

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.
