If for ANY reason the keeper strays outside the area, in 5 a side football, is it a pen

Not necessarily. Competition rules may or may not allow the goalkeeper to leave their penalty area.

Agree, completely down to each league. I used to play in one on a huge pitch where keepers could come out, so any team with a keeper that could also use his feet had a massive advantage. At the same time played in a Power League one when it was a penalty if they came out of the area.
