My main attitude towards power imbalances is usually It's Not Like Real Life. In real life, there could be exploitation, manipulation, abuse, that kind of thing.

So, power imbalances only squick me when the imbalance's negative effects can occur unconsciously/unintentionally. Like, if a character hero-worships another character to the point of being totally blindly loyal and unquestioning, even though the other character is flawed and prone to making mistakes, or the hero-worshipping stunts the characters' growth as people, even if the worshipped character isn't actually trying to make the other character worship him/her.
