I have a strong feeling the arrow dropping in the end was Araki's "way out", he didn't want to bluntly state that Giorno lost GER because for the hero to have a stupid insane power *just* to defeat the villain and then losing it is plain bad writing, but he wasn't sure if he was going to use Giorno in part 6 yet, and he wanted to have a way to justify Giorno being weaker if he decided to, because otherwise Giorno would be an overwhelmingly powerful character in the story against which conflict literally cannot exist around.

I personally choose to believe that Giorno never lost GER because GER was so overwhelmingly powerful that it reached a point that it didn't need the arrow anymore to exist, which may be supported by Eyes of Heaven(which, while of debatable canonicity, had its main story scenario written by Araki), where GER simply jumps out of Giorno to fight The World Over Heaven with absolutely no issues, indicating at most the distinction between GE and GER is akin to an Act change.
