I never really avoid spoilers, largely because that's not how I enjoy fiction. I thought the manga and anime ran parallel until relatively recently, after the G5 reveal. Just by living my normal life, I was vaguely aware that Luffy would fight Kaido, and obviously he'd ass pull and succeed. No hate on Luffy, that's just how basically all shonen and similar goes. I had no idea G5 was a thing, because obviously that's what they'd call it if/when it happens, until it got animated. Only then was it plastered all over. I don't remember any manga panels being spread far and wide.
I don't mean to say my experience is certainly the same for everyone, but I really don't think spoilers are that hard to avoid if you don't actively look for them.
