It's not 5+ levels for this 1 ability though. In fact if this is an option, it's 5+ levels for something else in particular and this is an alternative to what would be a dead level. Another variation would be an offensive version of Legendary Resistance, turn a miss in to a hit. It would probably work smoother that way anyways since you don't have an extra roll.
That's another idea. I was thinking a short rest limit, rather every attack, because it could get obnoxious with all the additional rolls. But that is certainly much closer to the power of 1 extra attack.
