Yes , 5 gallon is on the border line, that is recommended to use for most varieties. Ten (10) gallons plus is better for indeterminants.
When container is too small, it has some disadvantages :

-- The plant will get root bound, stay dwarfish and produce fewer and smaller fruits.
-- It will need more frequent watering and fertilizing. Even then the moisture level will be inconsistent and that in turn might cause BER..
