The Airgetlam isn't truly constantly active despite what the description says : during the Order, he has to utter the True Name for it to activate, and there's that burning flesh sound everytime he does (sounds painful lol). During his 3rd Ascension, it is indeed fully activated ~If you watch his NP closely in any other Ascensions, the arm has the bright white color of the 3rd Ascension right before he overload it with the golden energy).

Overall you are right. The Airgetlam is an hindrance to Excalibur's true potential, making his NP rank unable to reach its maximum input.
