Minato doesn't need to do such things. he needed time and space to enact the reaper death seal, then seal kurama in him, then summon the altar and seal it into Naruto, all while convincing his wife it was the best idea.

If he wants to seal Kurama up straight, all that prep goes out of the window. it's unnecessary. Minato took such a roundabout way because he wanted to preserve Kurama's power.
