Technically they can. It's just a lot more difficult. Especially for Oro, since it's implied all those snakes he uses are summoned.

For Jiraiya, the frogs are needed to buy time, but here his teammates have to do the same. Tsunade can heal, but remote healing requires Katsuyu which is vastly superior. Orochimaru needs snake summons for various attacks, which he can do without but it would harm his capabilities. Jiraiya needs two toads for SM Tsunade needs Katsuyu for distant healing and chakra restoration Orochimaru fights like how he fought against 4tails. He and jiraiya are highly reliant on summons.
