DMC5 will have non-cosmetic microtransactions.

Well, that's the point, isn't it? Is there any guarantee Capcom wouldn't do it? Can they resist the temptation to make their own money-making machine a little bit more appealing?

I don't bet on it.

1. They already had this in DMC4:

No adjustments were made to how often enemies drop orbs.

2. Dualshockers tested how much you have to grind to level up skills in DMC5 after hearing this, and it seems about the same as usual: https://www.dualshockers.com/devil-may-cry-5-red-orbs-playing-normally/amp/?utm_source=dlvr.it&utm_medium=twitter&__twitter_impression=true

This is probably just an option for people who don't like leveling up the usual way, and would rather throw money at it.
Not my cup of tea, but if it really doesn't affect my gameplay then 

This seems to be indicating it won't be so bad. Let's hope they don't tweak the numbers to make the red orbs purchases more enticing.
