That kinda makes sense. Like Training your body for years to get stronger.
I personally lean toward that it is probably a precursor to Haki but what you say does make sense as well. I think it is like using/Mixing Haki but at a lower level ( not yet Busoshoku Haki).
This might be an anime filler ( so correct me if i am wrong), There was this guy in whitebeard war that used Tekkai on his hand and tried to attack luffy with it. So based on that ( one of the reasons) i think Tekkai can be used both offensively and defensively . It doesn't prove that it is indeed Haki ( it can still be physical) but i think based on what we have seen post time skip we can say/speculate it leans in favor of Haki. Just my personal opinion.
But can you say why you think it is a physical process rather than Haki?
