I do NOT want Vauum Pets in Reboot if they are only going to be paid to win. Implement a free version, even if it is gimped in some way, in order to include paid Vacuum Pets or never implement them. (To be honest it is free money for Nexon with Vacuum Pets, but if they are pay to win only then you have people quitting the game which will just hurt the game and business.)

Implement the free version like you use the Akechi coins to buy it from the Akechi shop for 90 days, cannot be revived or be taught pet skills, but you can just buy a new Akechi Vacuum Pet when it dies. This way it keeps players constantly playing the game and not have Vacuum Pets feeling like a pay to win option when there is a free vacuum pet option in the game.

Yes, it is higher level content and you need to earn the vacuum pet, but something as powerful as a vacuum pet should be earned in some fashion. Newer players can just use Blackheart / Toad pets until they are strong enough to struggle Akechi in either parties or they can get boss carried by someone.

Implementing vacuum pets for Reboot (technically this will apply to non-Reboot as well) in such a way will be a lot better for the game in the long term.
