Although i've seen some fanart with naruto having Rinnegan, and it looks extremely badass, i simply think that it doesn't fit thematically. So in that i agree with you. It seems that the Indra incarnate needs flesh from the Ashura and i believe the Ashura needs the eyes of the Indra. So Hashirama most definitely can awaken Rinnegan. It's just that the whole curse of hatred makes it much easier to manipulate the Indra side.
