I wouldn't make a mountain out of a molehill. Other existing
operators have the same issue.

Which other keywords or symbols may be either a binary operator or
part of a ternary operator depending on context?

These come to mind:

a = b = c
a < b < c

These are chained comparisons, which get separated, not ternary operators. a < b = c < e > f in g is also syntactically valid, and I don't think anything is gained by calling it a pentanary operator.
