Though I'd be lying if I said that I wanted to see Goku and Vegeta fuse again. It just doesn't feel appropriate to fuse against an opponent like Broly that's stronger through their own power.
Goku and Vegeta fused against Buu because their families were murdered/absorbed by him, so they felt the need to work together and make him pay. They fused against Merged Zamasu to even out the playing field, since Goku Black and Zamasu decided to fuse. It's all felt appropriate so far. They need to find a convincing reason to have Goku and Vegeta fuse against someone like Broly. Broly's a Saiyan. How the hell will anyone convince Goku and especially Vegeta to fuse to put up a fight against another Saiyan? They didn't even do that with Jiren and he wiped the fucking floor with them. Their universe was at stake in that circumstance and they were allowed to fuse, yet even then they chose not to.
I honestly don't know how they'll fuse in this movie without it feeling forced. Please prove me wrong, Toriyama.
You've pretty much summed up my issue. I can get behind Gogeta if they justify it well enough (although I'm not exactly jumping for joy- he is so much less interesting than Vegetto), but with everything else going on in the movie so far, and it's apparent continued focus on Goku and Vegeta's individual growth, it's going to take a lot to have fusion make sense, especially the dance. Movie 12 and GT handwaved it, but the fact that Vegeta would even know the dance in this continuity, let alone consider using it against a non-fused opponent is tough to swallow.
The only thing that gives me hope for this is the fact that the last thing Toriyama had a direct hand in, Resurrection F, set up the idea of Goku and Vegeta working together as the ultimate endgame. It also ended with them saying "nah screw that" because hooray for anticlimaxes, but maybe that will get a payoff this time around.
